Inside Music with Owain Park

Composer Owain Park opens up a colourful selection of classical music from the inside, revealing familiar and unfamiliar works in a new light.

A series in which each week a musician reveals a selection of music - from the inside. Today composer and conductor Owain Park discovers two composers expressing pain, suffering and beauty in their music, and another setting words by poet Emily Dickinson to create a jewel-like miniature.
Other choices include Chabrier's sparkling homage to Spain and an choral piece designed by Owain to evoke perfect stillness.

At 2 o'clock Owain reveals his Must Listen piece - it's music that had such an effect on him when he heard it for the first time, that he immediately ordered the full score so he could find out exactly how it worked.
