I have started this channel as a way to provide historical and musicological insights on classical music through uploading interesting vintage or historically relevant recordings from the last decade of the 19th century and first half of the 20th century. I am mainly going to focus on works by Austro-German and French composers mostly from the 18th/19th century as well as early music before the 1700s as that is my main research interest however, I might upload other composers in middle as well. This is for educational purposes only.
