Melbourne Recital Centre Podcasts

Welcome to Classical Uncovered – a podcast designed to demystify corners of the classical music world. All areas of human endeavor have their special terms which are normal and natural to those in the know. But for those unfamiliar with that language, it can appear strange or even alienating. Classical music is no different. Over 10 episodes, classical music expert Graham Abbott breaks down the concepts and terms used in classical music, with the aim of helping you better understand and enjoy your music experiences. The term ‘chamber music’ can be a barrier for some. In this episode, Graham dives into the descriptive terms used in chamber music, and hopefully removes some of those linguistic barriers. In doing so, he gets right to the core of a lot of the music presented at Melbourne Recital Centre.
