In Episode 5 we talk with Nathalie de Montmollin about French Diction in 2 Fauré songs, Mai and Aprés un rêve. We specifically talk about the letters E and I, mute E, the nasal vowels, and some rules about obligatory, forbidden and optional liaison. You'll see this is a longer episode--I've also included an interview with Philip Shepard, author of What the Fach?!, on working in opera in the German-speaking countries and in the US for both singers and coaches, and there was so much useful information that I hope you will forgive me for going well over the half-hour time limit!
You can find the texts the LiederNet Archive by clicking on the song titles. For more information about the French liaison, I found a website with a complete list of liaison rules in French here.
