if you’re a (classical) music nerd like me
By david On April 25th, 2006you’ll enjoy this site:
i know pretty much none of you will really be interested, but i freakin’ love it. they basically talk in-depth about a piece for about 45 minutes, complete with audio examples of what they’re discussing. and there are many many different choices to explore (both standards of the repetoire and lesser-known works). like i said, you’re probably not gonna want to listen to any of it if you don’t really care about “fine art” music (and i mean besides enjoying listening to “pretty” music), because a lot of what they’re talking about is similar to what you might learn in music history/literature as a music major, basically dissecting the piece. there are even some small amounts of theory discussed. but hey, maybe you want to take a gander and learn a little, no, a lot more about one of your favorite pieces. plus, the hosts are british, so that’s always fun.

Thanks, David - this sounds like a very interesting program. I’ll have to give it a listen.

I’ve had BBC’s DiscoveringMusic site saved to my favourites for a while now. Cool site. I’m a total Classical Music Nerd too. Glad there are others around. I wish ya Godspeed dude!
