  • My new favorite show

    It’s beautiful to hear someone’s appreciation for a piece of music that has lingered with them in such profoundly lovely ways - and to take that into hearing the piece in its entirely is so very perfect. I do not know many classical music pieces - this is a priveledged way to get to appreciate more classical music, what a great idea for a quality podcast.
