I thoroughly enjoyed this podcast on great composers. The depth of information on each composer was engaging and informative. I also enjoyed the music interspersed in the narratives. I’m so sorry that this podcast is dormant and wish it would continue.
Wow great stuff just add some more Beethoven stuff
I’ve learned so much- thank you!
Enjoyed the music and story of Brahms!
Kevin Nordstrom does really incredible deep dives into composers, starting with Bach, that I never expected to hear in my life. He details so many aspects of their lives that are huge bonuses to know about and deeply humanizing. His voice has a great cadence and he has a a great sense of humor! Found myself laughing many times and telling other people about fascinating anecdotes from these composers lives which I learned here!
