Based on the historical/mythical figure of Belshazzar, Schumann's ballade Belsatzar was only the second song composed during the composer's famous "year of song." In today's episode, soprano Mimi Doulton shares her performance of Belsatzar with us and we discuss the cultural climate at the time, background on the history and mythology surrounding Belshazzar, and Mimi's experience performing the song as part of the Das Lied International Song Competition. With special guest pianist Mairi Harris Grewar.

Finally the end is upon us! It's hard to believe that after 16 episodes we've finally reached the end of our winter wanderings. While you might shed a tear or two over our wanderer's perplexing conclusion, you won't be too sad when you hear about all the great stuff we have in store for season 3 of Follow the Lieder. Stay tuned at the end of the episode for a special interview with Samuel Martin, the artistic founding director of Cincinnati Song Initiative. A very special thank you goes out to Dr. Tyler Reece for his incredible vocal collaboration throughout season 2!
