A joy to listen to. An in depth discussion of the musicians’ poet, Chopin, and an opportunity to listen to his music with a better trained ear.
Unparalleled

Performance bad

The quality of this podcast is absolutely amazing. How I wish podcasts of this quality were made for other composers—if they exist, I haven’t found them.
