Great stuff
Great show with really good sound quality. It would be nice, though, to have links in the description to Apple Music or Classical of the full works excerpted in the show.
In-depth intro
I have been into classical music for decades, composers from the baroque to mid-twentieth century, so I am not looking for “introductions to classical music”. I started listening to this podcast series by coincidence, and I must say it was quite interesting and very informative. There is so much more to say, so many more composers and pieces of music to introduce a novel listener to. But this series does a pretty good job, worth your time if you have heard some classical music and are curious to learn more.
