High quality topics and analysis of classical music old and modern. Plenty of “meat” but still informal and good listening. Recent series has been fascinating: the role of geography, fate, and sometimes very non-musical factors on the life, opportunities, development, and careers of musicians. Could obscurity ever be beneficial, at least in the long run?? I’m thinking of all the “top shelf” minds that got sucked into trying to make atonality and serialism happen. What about the many performers who were marred by the demands and pressures of their own success (too much success or the wrong kind of success?). Always thought provoking topics and great discussions by the two Pauls.
