Love it... but who is playing?
Love the programme. Would be great to credit the performers of each recording though. Looking forward to more episodes. Thank you.

Beautiful tonic for the soul
Listening to beautiful pieces of classical music. And someone’s personal relationship to the piece they’ve chosen. I am very moved by each story and hugely uplifted by each piece of music.

Everything classical music should be
Lovely tales about wonderful music from an eclectic group of people. The fact that the music is classical is a mere detail. Has brought a tear to my eye on more than one occasion 💛

The Open Heart Project
The Open Ears Project gently shines a light on how deeply music is entwined with our lives, our memories and our souls. It’s really helped me reconnect with classical music on a purely emotional level. This podcast won’t only open your ears, but your heart too.

Lovely listen
Glorious new light cast on some old favourites and an introduction to undiscovered gems. Loved hearing the guests talk about their jam. Silkily introduced by Clemmie Burton Hill. Like a morning vitamin shot; fresh, delicious and makes me feel alive.

Very moving
What a fabulous set of vignettes giving insights into the role of music at important points in people’s lives. Really enjoying them. And I shed a tear during Eric Jacobsen’s episode...

Poignant
Each of these pieces are chosen with great care and are all the more special when we have this backstory and can understand how this music has shaped and defined their life.

Open Ears Project
A daily fifteen minute insight to the lives of others and the music that gives them succour - it launched yesterday with Alec Baldwin whose choice made for the most sublime crowded tube ride home, and this morning heroic firefighter Rob Vogt made me cry on the Bakerloo Line. They are a daily instalment for a month and hopefully they will return next month too...? - to help / enable my addiction. My ears are open - as is my heart.
