Pianist Stewart Goodyear with irresistible rhythms and a tasty stew

Pianist Stewart Goodyear opens up a colourful selection of classical music from the inside - revealing familiar and unfamiliar works in a new light.

Pianist Stewart Goodyear introduces music featuring irresistible rhythms and the catchiest melodies, including Koji Kondo’s Super Mario Bros.’ theme tune… There’s also a witches’ dance from Hector Berlioz, ethereal atmospheres from Gustav Holst and silken sounds from Chopin and Ravel.

Plus, Stewart whips up a carnival with Sonny Rollins and his band. And the carnival atmosphere continues in his own composition for piano and orchestra, Callaloo, named after a spicy Trinidadian stew.

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