Violinist Jennifer Pike's rich pick of classical discoveries
Violinist Jennifer Pike opens up a colourful selection of classical music from the inside - revealing familiar and unfamiliar works in a new light.
Violinist Jennifer Pike uncovers the emotional heart of Bach’s St Matthew Passion, reveals how her favourite films are brought to life by the music of Henry Mancini, and plays a thrilling, landscape-inspired piece by a Polish composer who died while skiing in his beloved Tatra mountains.
And where can you find music that truly reflects peace and silence? Jennifer discovers it in the voice of Elizabeth Schwarzkopf singing a heart-stopping song by Schubert.
At 2 o’clock Jennifer’s Must Listen piece is by a woman who in her short life wrote fantastically original music that came to inspire a new generation of (male) composers.
A series in which each episode a musician explores a selection of music - from the inside.
