Inside Music with Douglas Boyd
Conductor and former oboist Douglas Boyd 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 conductor and former oboe player Douglas Boyd explores the subtle difference between metronome and pulse, and introduces pieces by Ralph Vaughan Williams and Richard Strauss that attempt to make sense out the chaos of war.
Other choices include the mysterious opening of Mozart's Requiem, jewel-like miniatures by Webern and Schumann, and music by Ravel played by a pianist whose energy and panache seems to have an effect on everyone she works with.
At 2 o'clock Douglas reveals his Must Listen piece - a symphonic slow movement that builds from tiny fragments of melody to an emotionally searing climax.
