Episode Synopsis "The Biedermeier with Dr. Benjamin Binder"

The end of Napoleon's reign and the birth of the Biedermeier era brought about many things, including - in a round about way - the birth of the song salon. Musicologist Ben Binder discusses why the politics of the time created an atmosphere where people were comfortable to be themselves only at home, and why Schubert mattered so much.  Performances of 'Nacht und Träume', Auflösung, Der Jungling und der Tod, and Der Wanderer.
