Conductor Kirill Karabits delves into his favourite music

Conductor Kirill Karabits opens up a colourful selection of music from the inside - revealing familiar and unfamiliar works in a new light

Conductor Kirill Karabits casts his net wide and puts together a rich playlist with a distinctly Ukrainian flavour. Kirill chooses Shostakovich’s 11th symphony, which inspired him to become a conductor, secular and sacred vocal music from the Ukraine and exotic sounds from Australia and Armenia.
He also introduces music created by his father, Ivan Karabits along with other composers including Rachmaninov, Liszt and Prokofiev.

At 2 o’clock Kirill plays his Must Listen piece - something Kirill himself re-discovered in a music library in Kiev in 2001, but dating from centuries earlier.

A series in which each week a musician reveals a selection of music - from the inside.
