S2 E1 | Memory & Psychology in Hugo Wolf's Mignon Lieder
Memory, psychology, and text painting intersect as we celebrate Hugo Wolf's moving Mignon Lieder with text by Goethe. How do you portray a character's inner world of turmoil and recollection? That's what I'll discuss with two wonderful guests: renowned pianist Martin Katz and mezzo-soprano Dr. Sahoko Timpone. Our featured recording is “Kennst du das Land?”

S2 E2 | "Tiger, Tiger" by Rebecca Clarke
Dr. Marcía Porter, soprano, joins me as we share our recording of a fantastic song - “Tiger, Tiger” - composed by Rebecca Clark with text by William Blake. The text painting is palpable; the piano is the tiger in this song. Clarke was a prolific composer although many of her works remain unpublished. At the age of 90, she was still composing and still revising this song.

S2 E3 | "Sorrow & Ecstasy" - The Songs of Henri Duparc
Immerse yourself in the world of Duparc, and join singers Aria Minasian, Megan Warburton, Nicholas Music, and me on a voyage through the panorama of human emotions. Duparc was a master at creating sensuous, lush soundscapes, but tragically stopped composing at the age of 37 and destroyed much of his work. In a concert called “Sorrow and Ecstasy,” four singers and I presented his complete songs. In this episode, we delve into Duparc’s musical depictions of grief and rage to pure bliss and the unique audience-centric facets of our performance.
