Pianist Keval Shah reveals layers of musical time
Keval Shah opens up a selection of classical music from his point of view as a song accompanist - revealing familiar and unfamiliar works in a new light.
Pianist Keval Shah compares the last movement of Sibelius鈥檚 Fifth Symphony to a long distance train journey, finds Martha Argerich and Maurice Ravel painting watery sounds together, and describes how John Adams uses a huge symphony orchestra to conjure up the feeling of being suspended in space.
Keval also shows how two tiny but vivid stories are brought to life by song composer Hugo Wolf and plays a four hundred year old piece that sounds as if it was written yesterday.
A series in which each week a musician explores a selection of music - from the inside.
