In the podcast, soprano and focus artist Golda Schultz talks to Ulrike Thiele about Strauss' "Four Last Songs", female composers and Elvis Costello - and about her scribbled notes.
What were the discoveries in her parents' cassette collection? What does "schluppi-schluppi" mean when singing? Who would journalism graduate Golda Schultz interview? What does she have in common with Beyoncé and Adele? Which Strauss recordings of the "Four Last Songs" has she heard? And what is currently at the top of her private playlist? She reveals all this in the first episode of the fourth season of our podcast "Intro".
