When you listen to an orchestra, what makes its sound distinctive? Is it the concert hall, the conductor, the players, or even their instruments? While some argue that most orchestras end up sounding alike, others insist each ensemble has its own unm... more
Today, we’re unravelling a piece that’s as simple as it is spellbinding - one of the most well known and oddly mesmerising compositions of the 20th century. Some call it brilliant, others find it unbearable, and few sit on the fence. And the piece th... more

United States19 days ago - More orchestras should engage audience like LPO
This is a great classical music podcast! The host is an excellent and enthusiastic interviewer.

Apple Podcasts5DCNYerUnited States2 years ago - Excellent insights
A really enjoyable podcast that gives great insights into the everyday world of classical musicians. I was lucky enough as a member the Hallé Choir to sing alongside the chorus when the LPO performed Elgar’s Dream of Gerontius and it was a great experience. It would if you could feature chorus members more often - maybe an episode on Janacek’s wild and wonderful Glagolitic Mass that I see the choir are performing in May?

United Kingdom3 years ago - Hidden gem
I only came across this recently as the result of the great British podcasts site and have been bingeing ever since. My only disappointment is that I am getting close to catching up.
For a regular long term concert attender , these insights are fascinating and a delight to hear that while the musicians are such highly skilled and experienced professionals, they are ordinary people with a good sense of humour. I only wish there were other similar podcasts with performers sharing insights into ... more
