Hear Me Out
On sale
28th September 2017
Price: £14.99
A celebration of music from the creator of Alan Partridge, The Thick of It, Veep and The Death of Stalin.
All my days, I’ve felt pressurized by the anonymous Keepers of the Cool who tell us what we should be wearing this year, what digital boxsets we should bunker ourselves in to enjoy, what amazing app is the only one we should be shrieking emotions at our recently acquired friends with. Thankfully, I have the one consolation that if I don’t quite fit into all of this, everyone else probably feels the same way.
So, I say defiantly, I get more moved and excited by classical music than by any other musical genre. I believe that it is there for us all, inviting us to reach out and touch it.
In Hear Me Out Armando Iannucci brilliantly conveys the joy of his musical exploration, each discovery suggesting a fresh direction of travel, another piece, another composer, another time.

In his new book he channels his rapier wit and offbeat perspective into a celebration of classical music
