The “Bach is back” episode misidentifies the featured music as a harpsichord concerto, when it is an orchestral/choral piece, probably a cantata.

I stop what I’m doing to really listen to this. It is my 2 minute musical oasis wherever it lands in my day. Thank you.

I listen to it every day and it’s very interesting

Wish there were links where I could purchase the item played, like the Pinkham Three Latin Motets!!!!!🥰

Hello! I’m a lawyer in Chicago, who’s recuperating from a head injury in 2018/19. Since then: I picked up this quick, refreshing podcast. I listen to every episode soon after midnight. (At the late time, see supra re: “recuperating”.) this podcast sends me to sleep, knowing that, rather than law: the soul of humans is expressed by art!

It makes the day brighter.

I’m so grateful for this podcast. I listen to it every morning when I walk my dog, and it brings two minutes of beauty and calm into my life. Personally I would be happier with five minutes!

The podcast itself is wonderful, concise and informative. Unfortunately I unsubscribed (and took off one star ⭐️), because I’m tired of hearing the same commercial over and over for “Aria Code,” intrusively tacked onto what is already a very short podcast.

The short format introduces me to many composers. Sometimes I do further research on the ones that interest me.

This is a nicely done “on this day in classical music history” type of program. Although episodes are quite short (only a few minutes long) it helps to learn more about your favorite composers and be introduced to new names too. Bravo!

Very glad to have this wonderful service.

A lovely 2 minute daily respite of sanity

I thoroughly enjoy the variety of the music and the information bits. I save the reviews for a week or so and listen several times on my daily walk.

Too many atonal "new music" composers. Play some REAL classical music, not the modern crap. This podcast has an agenda because is in cohorts with the "American composers forum". Classical music is already only %3 of the music biz, don't make it 0.01%.

Composers Datebook delights me, educates me and exposes me to new music each day. It is definitely part of my morning routine, and it often leads me to follow-up with new albums and study. I love it!

Even if you're not into classical music, each episode comes with a good story, full of victories, losses, and foibles. It's worth listening to, just for that.

This is a wonderful snippit. I always enjoy it. I also wish the music portion was longer. Maybe it's just long (short?) enough for many people. I have followed through on many of the works mentioned.

As a music student in college and a young composer, I find this podcast to be very informative. If you enjoy this podcast, you should check out Naxos' Classical Music Spotlight Podcast as it goes more in depth (average length of 20 minutes).

I have enjoyed this as an email for a long time. It's good to see it as a podcast. As always, I wish the music portion would be longer.
