Looping through time with composer and producer Gabriel Prokofiev
Gabriel Prokofiev opens up a selection of classical music from a composer and producer's point of view - revealing familiar and unfamiliar works in a new light.
As a composer and producer who straddles the ever-merging worlds of classical and contemporary music, Gabriel Prokofiev brings a fresh perspective on composers who have influenced him - from his grandfather, Sergei Prokofiev, to Barbara Strozzi.
Gabriel鈥檚 choice of music today includes a piece by Ravel which is decorated by some 鈥榮picy鈥� Baroque trills, the mechanical and pulsing soundscape of Xenakis, and a piece by Schnittke which has a fragile sense of beauty.
He also plays a piece by Henry Cowell which you could mistake for modern dance music, with its loops and hypnotic repetition, until you realise it was written in the 1930s.
A series in which each week a musician explores a selection of music - from the inside.
