I can’t believe it took me so long to discover this show! I’m learning a ton and look forward to deepening my appreciation and knowledge of classical music. I’m also learning French and loved the most recent episode en français! More French episodes please!

So glad I discovered this intelligent, informed, and lucid podcast. I’ve just listened to the episode on the Op 59 N2, a string quartet I enjoy greatly (along with the other Razumovskys, and the overwhelming last quartets). I can now listen again to this quartet with renewed insight and pleasure. I’m very much looking forward to listening to the other episodes on this inspiring podcast. Thank god (or whoever) for podcasts like this.

I discovered this podcast when I read a terrific review in the New York Times last week. I have listened to several episodes and enjoyed them immensely. Joshua’s love and enthusiasm for this music and his knowledge as a conductor and violinist deepen my appreciation for works that I already know and love. I expect that I will finally get to understand, if not necessarily like, music that I have never enjoyed (I’m looking at you Bruckner!). Thanks Joshua - keep up the great work. It’s nice to hav... more
