Vox Satanae (Voice of Satan) presents classical music with an emphasis on vocal music from its inception through the present in all of its forms. Each show contains a variety of music in the areas of chant, choral, opera, song, theater, film, and instrumental for your listening enjoyment.
The RFS: Vox Satanae podcast is a captivating and unique musical discovery for those who may not be familiar with Satanism. As a casual listener since 2015, I have found this podcast consistently interesting and innovative in its selection of music. Not only does it provide a wide range of western traditional music, but it also offers insightful commentary that allows me to better focus on my studies and feel relaxed while enjoying the pieces. This podcast has truly been a wonderful source of both entertainment and education.
One of the best aspects of The RFS: Vox Satanae podcast is its consistently high quality musical content. With a broad variety of western traditional music, including some hidden gems, this podcast never fails to deliver something new and exciting. Reverend Gene, the host of the show, exhibits great passion and knowledge about the subject matter, making each episode engaging and enjoyable to listen to. His expertise in composers and their works shines through in his commentary, adding depth to the listening experience.
However, as with any podcast, there are some aspects that could be considered less desirable. Occasionally, there may be episodes that feature more common or well-known pieces of classical music that may not bring as much novelty to seasoned classical music enthusiasts. Additionally, some listeners may find the theme of Satanism off-putting or controversial, especially if they are unfamiliar with its philosophies or beliefs.
In conclusion, The RFS: Vox Satanae podcast is a true treasure trove for classical music lovers seeking new discoveries. Reverend Gene's passion for the subject matter shines through in each episode as he shares his extensive knowledge about composers and their works. While there may be occasional episodes that feature more common pieces or may not align with everyone's personal beliefs or interests due to its connection to Satanism, overall this podcast provides an extraordinary listening experience that is both relaxing and educational. It is certainly a highlight of my week to sit back, sip coffee, and indulge in the musical wonders that Vox Satanae has to offer.
