Thanks to our friends at Naxos Audiobooks, The Dabbler is serialising Richard Fawkes’ award-winning The History of Classical Music, read by Robert Powell…
In this second episode, Fawkes looks at the Gothic Age, the Motet and the Troubadour tradition….
This serialisation is an abridged version of the full audiobook, which you can buy from Naxos Audiobooks here. The full edition contains over 150 musical excerpts to illustrate the narrative.
I listened to this last week and it was really good – genuinely recommended
Have just added this and several other Naxos CDs to my Christmas list (bit early I know…)
