Bonus: The Story of Classical Music (4CDs)  is the sort of project that hardly ever gets reviewed and at which people are likely to turn up their noses. More’s the pity, for it is a model of how to introduce children to classical music. With a script of humour and grace by Darren Henley - which neatly sets the musical examples in their historical context - and links read clearly (and unpatronisingly) by Aled Jones
