Cellist Johannes Moser with an absorbing selection of music

Cellist Johannes Moser leads us through a broad selection of his favourite pieces 鈥 from the inside 鈥 introducing us to new music and throwing fresh light on familiar classics.

Cellist Johannes Moser presents a broad selection of the music he loves 鈥 opening it up from the inside 鈥 introducing us to new pieces and throwing fresh light on familiar classics.

He reveals how two Russian composers brought fire to life with sound, which one-take wonder has ended up in outer space, and the music that he heard before he was born. Plus, why a late-night encounter with the virtuoso violinist Ivry Gitlis in a smoky bar in Berlin was such a life-changing encounter

At 2pm Johannes introduces us to one of his all-time favourite recordings with his 鈥淢ust Listen鈥 piece, a German sonata which is key to his own understanding of music.

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