“I thoroughly enjoy this podcast series and anxiously await for new episodes.
Brahms is my favorite composer and, as Kevin, I consider his violin concerto to be among his finest works, if not the finest. Kevin’s narration goes beyond the typical “composer biography” in its detail on the...”Read full review »

“The content is excellent and kept me listening despite the limited speaking talent of the reader. He could stand some elocution lessons or have an actor read some of the script to relieve the monotony of one person’s reading voice.”

Cons:
