Axel's Classics
9 episodes - English - Latest episode: over 2 years ago -Axel's Classics is a podcast series of 8 episodes, in which we discover amazing classical music. It's aimed at people who love the genre, as well as people who want to start listening to classical music for the first time. On my YouTube channel you can find video versions as well: https://www.youtube.com/c/AxelPlaysMusic As an orchestra musician, I always find myself right within the music, week after week. I believe this provides a unique perspective, combining it with the history of classical music and a bit of theory.
