Through the rich imagery of each concerto and its accompanying poetry, Dr Hannah French uncovers the detail of Vivaldi's personal and creative life. In conversation with fellow musicians and experts in health, nature, food, wine, and science, she helps bring a new perspective to the music through our shared experiences of the joys and fears of the ever-evolving seasons.

In This Ain't Rock 'n' Roll, award-winning music historian Daniel Rachel navigates these turbulent waters with extraordinary delicacy and care.

There will never be another pop manager like Brian Epstein, the young record-retailer from Liverpool behind the 20th century’s greatest romance. Having achieved his much-derided aim of making the Beatles "bigger than Elvis," Brian went on to make them bigger than any earthly instrument could measure.

Il nostro corpo racconta molte cose se può manifestarsi con libertà. I pantaloni con cui Marlene Dietrich arrivò a Parigi nel 1930 fecero gridare allo scandalo perché non solo parlavano di una sessualità dominatrice, ma di una donna che attingeva agli stereotipi del potere maschile diventando una vampira di energie invece che una donatrice devota.
