Michael Wood, historian

About this episode

The historian Michael Wood has shared his enthusiasms and expertise with television viewers and readers around the world for almost five decades.

He’s brought us complex individuals such as Alexander the Great, pivotal conflicts such as the Trojan War, and national histories, including the Story of India, the Story of China and a people’s history of Britain.

And here on Radio 3, he’s one of the distinguished historians joining Gillian Moore for Key Changes, a year-long series charting one thousand years of musical history, on air on Saturdays and on BBC Sounds.

Michael's musical choices include Monteverdi, Bach, Messiaen and Chopin.
