Presto Music Classical Podcast,
Episode 10: Across the Pond with David Hurwitz
This week I held something of a cultural exchange programme with writer, vlogger, and musician David Hurwitz. Known to many from his reviews website Classics Today, the lockdown prompted David to start his very successful YouTube channel earlier this year, which has been gaining a global following ever since. On the show David chooses five of his favourite pieces of British music, I return the compliment with five American classics and we have a discussion peppered with David's inimitable no-nonsense approach and personal anecdotes. It's a highly entertaining show and a great way to end this first season of The Presto Music Podcast.
Please subscribe wherever you get your podcasts, and if you're feeling generous, give us a rating and even a review, and we'll be back early in the new year with more stimulating chat with the experts.
