Episode 8: The Not So Classical One

For this episode The Audiophiles bring you an eclectic collection of their favorite classical music. During our many years of exploring the musical genres of soul, jazz, R&B, gospel and rock, we have always had an appreciation of the classics as well. Many of these tracks were discovered even as we rummaged through record bins for our regular interests.

Classical music underpins almost all of western popular music and we wanted to give our listeners an introduction to our own (hidden) classical roots. So enjoy this episode featuring some truly great musical masterpieces and the stories of the great composers behind them. This episode also introduced a new presentation format featuring our unscripted conversations in real-time as we share the music with each other and with you. Happy listening!
