Music illuminated from within by pianist Boris Giltburg
Pianist Boris Giltburg opens up a colourful selection of classical music from the inside - revealing familiar and unfamiliar works in a new light.
Pianist Boris Giltburg puts together a list of music with a distinctly Russian flavour: from lush melodies by Rimsky-Korsakov, witty and sparkling operetta from Shostakovich, and piano and choral works by a composer who Boris reveres above all others, Sergei Rachmaninov.
Boris also takes us on a fascinating musical journey through the opening of a Bach cantata and is captivated by a song featuring 鈥榯he voice of Georgia鈥�, Hamlet Gonashvili, describing it as 鈥渇ull of harmonies and melodies that are entirely addictive鈥�.
At 2pm Boris winds the clock back to 1954 Moscow for his Must Listen choice: a dramatic live recording by Emil Gilels of music by a Russian composer who Boris feels is often overlooked.
A series in which each week a musician reveals a selection of music - from the inside.
