In this podcast, we explore the lives and works of great classical composers. Beginning in the 16th century, we trace more than 500 years of music history, following the lives of over 150 composers along the way. Our focus is not only on their well-known works, but above all on the people behind the music: their childhood, their formative years, their artistic journeys, and the legacies they left behind. Through our audio biographies, we examine the influences that shaped their creativity and how, in turn, their music helped shape the course of classical music itself.
