Fun & Informative

I really enjoy this podcast because it showcases new classical artists or recordings I would not otherwise be exposed to. I almost always end up buying the recordings showcased.

Fantastic Podcast

More Wigmore please.

Distracting Vocalizating

Hattie Butterworth ‘mmmmed’ dozens of times during the Rebecca Dale interview. The sounds add nothing to the conversation. Rather they serve as an annoying distraction.

Tippett Quartet’s Korngold

This was a fantastic podcast! Enjoyed it so much, that I purchased the album. Thanks

Terrible Sound

I appreciate the content but it sounds as if you are recording this show in a bathroom. I’d expect more care for recording these podcasts from a record review magazine.
