    Default Tony Robinson's Friendly Guide to Classical Music

    I was just listening to Tony Robinson's (aka Sodoff Baldrick) witty and informative show on the history of classical music from its early beginnings in Antiquity to modern composers. Robinson is his usual comic self, and the show is an absolute pleasure to listen to. A must for all who like the sumptuous tones of classical music (i.e all those who have an ounce of culture and sophistication ). The show is broadcast at four pm every Sunday on British Standard Time, but you can download the podcasts here.
    I thought I'd share that with you.

    I'll pop this in my favourites for something to listen to later, methinks.

    It was not theirs to make reply,
    It was theirs but to do or die.

    Thanks for the link.
