This is the podcast I’ve been yearning for! Music has always been a huge part of my life but I always struggled to find a way “in” to the world of classical music until I found this pod! Clemmie Burton-Hill is a wonderful presenter with an amazing knowledge and passion for music. Essential listening for the Classical newbie or someone looking to expand their musical horizons.
