The music was lovely, very enjoyable to hear. The tone of the commentary was quite detached, a well-modulated radio voice reading a script. I didn't get any sense that he was excited about the composer, looking forward to hearing the pieces, or anticipating the opportunity to share the music with the audience so they would be excited, too.

I would have found the show more informative with a few more basic facts, such as the composition dates. It might have been interesting to know more about the circumstances of the recordings by the composer.

But the bulk of the program was music, and the commentary certainly didn't detract from it.
