Howard Goodall's Big Bangs was first aired on UK television a number of years ago, but the memory of the programme has stuck with me ever since. Goodall picks five of what he thinks are the greatest advancements in the history of music for example, the development of music notation, equal temperament, and he systematically explains their evolution and their impact on music as we know it. But what really sets this DVD apart is Goodall's ability to get potentially complex ideas across so lucidly and with humour and wit. It makes what could be a potentially stuffy subject, entertaining, engaging and....well buy and see for yourselves, you are unlikely to be disappointed.
Its a shame that this isn't available in Region 2 PAL for UK viewers-I assume it will be very soon, so unless you have the ability to watch region 1 NTSC wait for the UK version!
