Nothing comes as close to your heart as a Lied. It is a small piece of music, but very intimate and pure. The classic and romantic Lied repertoire is practiced around the world, but what about contemporary Lied writing? This Podcast is meant to be a window for contemporary Lied, presenting composers, poets and musicians, all alive, all producing Lied for many years. It is time to open the treasure chest and let Lied fly around the world to find you.
