The Music of Man (1979)
Best historical music documentary ever
Like another reviewer, I also borrowed this series on VHS from my local library. The late great musical genius Yehudi Menuhin narrates an entertaining and enlightening series on the history of music and man.
This was not just a series about the history of western or classical music. This was an account of the inseparable and interwoven history of man and his music.
Besides sharing his wealth of musical knowledge, Yehudi interviews and jams with musical greats from the various genre's and different cultures of the world.
Going back to ancient mans trance inducing rhythms to exploring the roots of modern rock music, this series had it all.
Sad that it is not available on DVD for music enthusiasts all over the world to enjoy, and for me to see the episodes that were not available so many years ago at my local library.
