Very good
I have visual art studies so found it interesting how music can be classified under the same art history eras. Episode 6, the late 20th Century is particularly interesting to me, as the music starts to become a lot like contemporary art. Im not sure why the 20thC episodes are out of chronological order but I appreciated that,
as to be honest most other classical music sounds the same to my untrained ear. I’ll listen to the whole podcast again to see if I can start to pick the differences.
Thanks, Apple for this endless feast that will last from here to eternity.
For those who do not subscribe to Apple Music, eat you hearts out because your hearts will never enjoy a feast like all the appetising music it lays on the table.
Bravo! Apple as André Rieu says to his artists.
