“These are great stories involving unusual crimes related to classical music. Some (most?) of the stories can be a bit of a downer, as they involve death, theft and loss, but the musical and historical connections are satisfying and elevate the show above mere true crime. The episodes are...”Read full review »

“This is a great podcast. Nothing like it! I‘be heard about the mystery of the Enigma variations, maybe this could be added to a future episode? Also, is Bach‘s unaccompanied Cello Suite really written by Bach or his wife? Thank you!”

“Stumbled on this podcast by accident and thoroughly enjoyed it. Not a great classical music fan but the music reminded me of my father listening to the music when I was young. Great stories. I’m hoping there is a series two soon.”

“These podcasts have been an absolute joy to listen to. Hugely entertaining and informative as well as unusual in that they provide stories outside the mainstream of the normal focus of classical music. It is obvious how much research has gone into each episode and the presentation is really...”Read full review »

“This podcast is so fun because while you think it's about one thing, the next thing you know you're learning about something totally unexpected. It's so unique as it brings to light the humanity that lies behind classical music. I cried in the episode about the stradivarious as I...”Read full review »

“Terrific and unique mystery podcast. It’s consistently and professionally produced, thoughtfully researched, and beautifully presented. A listener doesn’t need to be a music historian (I’m not!), as the podcast isn’t only intelligent; it’s entertaining and accessible. I’ve really enjoyed the...”Read full review »

“These are absolutely fab! I found these completely by accident and very late. Made in 2018 and I am starting to listen to them Jan 2021. Another lockdown has begun...no problem, I have Case Notes to get me through. Imagine my horror when I discover how few of them there are...and I have...”Read full review »

“I need more! I love the storytelling of these cases and the new facts it brings to the public's view. As a collegiate musician, I learned about many of these composers and knew about some of their intricasies, but the expansion of the stories and dives into the composer behind the music is...”Read full review »

“Great storytelling, I recommend it often. You don’t need to be versed in the artists they discuss to enjoy it, either. There’s plenty of background information and context provided by biographers, critics, and sometimes with more recent cases, people who were involved. I would love to hear more...”Read full review »

“I love Classic fm and I love gory stuff so Case Notes is, in my opinion, is brilliant. Hayden’s Missing Head is really good and some parts were surprisingly funny(that might just be me though).”

“My daughter-in-Law put me on to this podcast (I think she just listens to anything to take her mind off work!). These are fascinating little insights into the murkier side of music. My only regret is that having listened to the whole series, there aren’t any more.”

“I am not sure how I came across this but I have really enjoyed the different episodes. It is engaging but overly dramatic or sensational but captures the listener. I hope there will be more series.”

“Thank you for the best podcast I’ve ever heard, next to a bbc hidden gem podcast - “slow”. Tim Lihoreau is a narrator extraordinaire. His style vocal interpretation is so reminiscent of James Bradshaw. Thank you again!”
“I have loved listening to these stories- the presentation is brilliant and the background facts/gossip is so entertaining. Please do some more and quickly 😁”

“This is a great podcast.
Well researched and executed.
Sound design is excellent; it really draws you in.
Clearly, this is not a podcast created by a guy in a basement on a phone mic.
Who knew Music History was so lethal?
Immersive.
Addictive.
I need more!”
