A Trilogy of Podcasts

Did you know that legendary pianist Glenn Gould made a Solitary Trilogy: Three Sound Documentaries in 1966-1977? We’ve created a Trilogy of Podcasts for listeners in the spirit of Gould including his Solitary Trilogy, Living Music with Nadia Sirota, and the TAK Editions Podcast. The first is about what it means to withdraw, and the following two introduce the listener to innovative composers and musicians of today.
Glenn Gould Solitary Trilogy: Three Sound Documentaries
While Gould called these his “Three Sound Documentaries” in 1966-77, they might have been referred to as podcasts if he made them today. The legendary pianist’s Solitary Trilogy has never been more relevant. Gould said of the sound documentaries, they are "as close to an autobiographical statement as I intend to get in radio" and all three reflect the theme of "withdrawal from the world".
Living Music with Nadia Sirota
Following the success of her Peabody Award-winning podcast Meet the Composer, Nadia Sirota launches Living Music. Living Music is a new podcast, launched in 2020, that demystifies classical music, bringing its major players down to earth and into your headphones. Current episodes feature Missy Mazzoli, Claire Chase, Timo Andres, and Conrad Tao, to name a few.
TAK Editions Podcast
Members of TAK, an ambitious ensemble that “impresses with the organicity of their sound, their dynamism and virtuosity” (WQXR) interview composers Ann Cleare, Ashkan Behzadi, Natacha Diels and more.
📣 Free Masterclass for Artists
If you’ve enjoyed this conversation, I’d love to share something I created that expands on many of the ideas we explore here on Classical Post.
I recorded a free Masterclass designed specifically for classical musicians who want to:
✅ Book more concerts
✅ Increase their performance fees
✅ Build visibility with presenters, agents, and collaborators
This is the same visibility strategy I’ve used in my work with artists at Gold Sound Media—approaches that have helped them land major engagements and grow their careers in meaningful, measurable ways.
📩 Enter your email below and I’ll send you the link to watch the Masterclass on YouTube.
It’s practical, actionable, and designed for artists who are ready to stop waiting and start being seen.
