Violinist Francesca Dego finds Italian flavour wherever she listens

Violinist Francesca Dego opens up a colourful selection of classical music from the inside - revealing familiar and unfamiliar works in a new light.

Violinist Francesca Dego admires the cool dexterity of her teacher Salvatore Accardo, can鈥檛 resist the combination of Brahms and the cello, and explores the playing of harpsichordist Mahan Esfahani.

Francesca also treats us to her world premiere recording of a piece by a composer she loves, fellow Italian Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco.

At 2 o鈥檆lock Francesca鈥檚 Must Listen piece is a glorious operatic duet, where every phrase is given a special, emotion-wrenching musical treatment.

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