The lives and music of the great composers of classical music unfold in this entertaining account, introduced by singer and presenter Aled Jones. In 1200 years, classical music grew from the chanting of medieval monks to the symphonies of Beethoven and the grand operas of Wagner to the huge orchestral sound-world of the twenty-first century, with its electronics and its film music.

In his easy-going style, Aled Jones paints vivid portraits of over eighty composers, each one illustrated with some of his, or her, most famous music.
