Classical music mysteries: 'Case Notes'

From The Podcast Hour, 12:37 pm on 13 July 2019

Black magic, theft, grave digging, gruesome crimes...some of our most famous classical composers led dark and interesting lives.

It certainly wasn't all powdered wigs and harpsichord recitals for genteel society! And speaking of powdered wigs (as you so often do!), how did one of those end up in the place of Haydn's head in his coffin after his funeral?

We share some of 'Haydn's Missing Head' from the 'Case Notes' podcast hosted by Tim Lihoreau for Classic FM. 'Case Notes' recently won the award for Best True Crime podcast at the British Podcast Awards.
