Flamboyant soloists and wonderful wind instruments with cor anglais player Alison Teale

Cor anglais player Alison Teale opens up a colourful selection of music from the inside 鈥 revealing an orchestral musician's insights into both familiar and unfamiliar works.

The 大象传媒 Symphony Orchestra鈥檚 cor anglais player Alison Teale takes us inside a vibrant range of classical music choices. She reveals how a mutant wind instrument inspired a composer from Northern Europe, draws parallels between chamber music and contact sports, unveils a performer who astonished her with his red socks and tells the heartwarming story of Ji艡铆 B臎lohl谩vek鈥檚 final concert with the 大象传媒 Symphony Orchestra.

At 2pm Alison introduces us to her Must Listen piece: an operatic finale which puts her through the emotional wringer every time she hears it.

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