Schumann: Frauenliebe und Leben

Season 1 · Episode 2

Thursday, October 24, 2019 • Duration 01:04:14

Attention! Attention! In today’s episode we cover a composer other than Schubert… This is not a drill! I repeat: this is NOT a drill!!!

In a special episode of the gender-bending variety, Mandee and special guest Dr. Tyler Reece discuss Tyler’s DMA dissertation “Liebe und Leben: Exploring Gender Roles and Sexuality in Nineteenth Century Lieder.” Complete with a live performance from Tyler’s final DMA recital, we discuss issues including gender roles in early 19th century Germanic society, Berlin and the birthplace of the modern gay rights movement, the moral purity movement, gendered performance practices, and Tyler’s dramatic integration of the gay male perspective into this beloved cycle. Chances are, you’ve never heard it performed quite like this!

Recorded at UCSB Karl Geiringer Hall, 4 May 2019

Dr. Tyler Reece, baritone

Mandee Madrid-Sikich, piano
