Well, here it is! In Episode 1 we discuss the texts of "Heidenröslein" and "Der Gärtner" with Nadja Mchantaf and Hans Sotin, focusing on the long vowel [øː] and the short [œ], and talk with conductor Rainer Mühlbach about singing in German. Hope you enjoy it!

The texts are available from the LiederNet Archive, "Heidenröslein" and "Der Gärtner".
