The Joy of Classical Music - Ep 115 - The Art of the Voice - 11-08-25

I finished last week's episode by saying that next week's episode would have no grand themes, just a collection of bits and bobs, music for music's sake. As it turns out, it’s another themed episode, The Art of the Voice. There’s bass singers, tenors, countertenors, sopranos, contralto’s baritones and a choir. And there’s a very special guest, Terry Huggins, a basso profundo from Geraldine.
