Intimate music-making with cellist Andrew Yee
Cellist Andrew Yee opens up a colourful selection of music from the inside - revealing familiar and unfamiliar works in a new light.
Andrew Yee is the cellist from the Grammy award-winning Attacca Quartet and in this show he gathers up a selection of pieces that are centred around the intimate side of music-making. There鈥檚 a viol consort playing Orlando Gibbons, emotional pianism from Claude Frank, luscious textures from Bernard Hermann and delicate word painting for male chorus by Franz Schubert.
Andrew also talks about the powerful effect song has on him - from Richard Strauss causing him to be issued with a speeding ticket, to the lyrical confusion he experiences when listening to singer-songwriter Gillian Welch.
Plus revelations about working with the composer Caroline Shaw and how the Attacca Quartet鈥檚 approach to music-making is often focused on singing rather than playing their instruments.
A series in which each week a musician reveals a selection of music - from the inside.
