Customer Reviews
Makes it easy to understand classical music
One thing that’s always overwhelming is thinking that I should be “smarter” when it comes to classical music. The host of this podcast takes pains to make certain it’s fun, informative, and easy. She’ll take a composer or a theme and walk you through the pieces, the history, and why it matters. Enjoyable!
Salon97 FTW!
Salon97 does such an awesome job of not only reminding us how and why classical music is relevant, awesome and flat out fun. Thank you, Cariwyl, for making it such a joy to learn more about the composers and classical music in general!
