I’m a professional classical musician and this is like the amazing behind-the-scenes supplement I never had in my music history courses. Well-researched, and I love the musical excerpts throughout. Sharing with everyone I know! Thanks!

Great for classical music lovers
Very nice research and storytelling about important classical composers. Some of the composers pieces are well integrated into the episodes. Highly recommand this podcast.
