Inside Music with Abel Selaocoe
Cellist Abel Selaocoe 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 cellist Abel Selaocoe chooses a selection of pieces reflecting his tastes formed growing up in South Africa and learning the cello.
Abel chooses Purcell re-worked for the 21st century, a powerful work for cello and piano by James MacMillan and a movement from his favourite Beethoven symphony. Plus there's a joyful Norwegian folk tune for string quartet and a work by Italian composer Giovanni Sollima arranged by Abel himself to include vocals inspired by the throat singing of the Xhosa culture.
A Tandem Production for 大象传媒 Radio 3.
