In this episode I'm joined by Dr Brianna Robertson-Kirkland to discuss the real and imagined scandal in 18th century music and singing lessons, as well as famous Italian castrato Venanzio Rauzzini, the subject of Brianna's recently published book Venanzio Rauzzini and the Birth of a New Style in English Singing: Scandalous Lessons.
