Howard Goodall's Big Bangs

Howard Goodall’s Big Bangs was originally transmitted on Channel 4 in the UK in the Autumn of 2000. It has since been seen all over the world and repeated countless times on terrestrial, satellite and cable TV. Five 50-minute programmes cover what Howard feels are the five most important, transforming, moments in Western music history. Rather than cataloguing every event in over a thousand years of music history, Big Bangs looks in detail at particular moments in time where one person’s ideas and actions have changed the course of Western music forever.
