    Discovering Music explores pieces of music in detail, providing a unique insight into the inner workings of a millennium of musical history. Programmes are either based around a featured work or cover a group of related pieces. The two main presenters are Stephen Johnson and Charles Hazlewood.

    LISTENING NOTES

    See details of previous Listening Notes below, new notes will be added each month.
