As featured in the Telegraph and on Radio 4's Today programme.

'Year of Wonder is an absolute treat – the most enlightening way to be guided through the year.' Eddie Redmayne

Classical music for everyone – an inspirational piece of music for every day of the year, celebrating composers from the medieval era to the present day, written by award-winning violinist and BBC Radio 3 presenter Clemency Burton-Hill.

Have you ever heard a piece of music so beautiful it stops you in your tracks? Or wanted to discover more about classical music but had no idea where to begin?

Year of Wonder is a unique celebration of classical music by an author who wants to share its diverse wonders with others and to encourage a love for this genre in all readers, whether complete novices or lifetime enthusiasts.

Clemency chooses one piece of music for each day of the year, with a short explanation about the composer to put it into context, and brings the music alive in a modern and playful way, while also extolling the positive mindfulness element of giving yourself some time every day to listen to something uplifting or beautiful. Thoughtfully curated and expertly researched, this is a book of classical music to keep you company: whoever you are, wherever you're from.

'The only requirements for enjoying classical music are open ears and an open mind.'

Clemency Burton-Hill

Thanks for joining me for the ride, and happy new year！
读到最后眼泪汪汪。感谢被 Clemency 宠溺的半年。

基于一年365天介绍了365首古典音乐曲目，我花了3个月时间看完每一首的简介+听完每一首。其实面对浩如烟海的艺术类作品，不管是古典音乐、绘画、雕塑还是建筑，我总是有一种茫然无措的感觉，因为不知从何下手，也不知道何时才能追赶上我身边的专业人士们的进度。但是转念一想，还有广阔的艺术天地等着我探索，追不追赶又有什么大不了的呢，我好快乐(¬‿¬)

十颗星不多；值得推荐的地方，一个是tenderness，"they don’t need to be understood to be felt"，Clemency讲了很多故事，作曲家的，历史的，她个人的，关于作曲，关于演奏，关于体验；另有很多女性作曲家的介绍，各个年代各种风格都有；印象最深的故事之一是15 Dec, Clemency在大雨中挤公交的时候，从旁边乘客在看的小说上偷瞄到了Lágrim…

很有情趣的一本小书，每首曲目介绍不多，很快就能看完。第一天，4月24日看，就遇到了非常熟悉的曲目－贝多芬C小调第五交响曲“命运”第四乐章－这首名作，边听边看不乏趣味。我喜欢音乐，也喜欢音乐背后的故事。希望接下来的体验中能多多介绍一些陌生的作曲家和作品。
