Inventive, quirky and joyous music with bass player Cecelia Bruggemeyer

Double bass player Cecelia Bruggemeyer opens up a colourful selection of music from the inside - revealing familiar and unfamiliar works in a new light.

Double bass player Cecelia Bruggemeyer specialises in playing early music, but in this week's edition of Inside Music, her choices range much further forward in time. How does William Walton鈥檚 music illustrate the text in Belshazzar鈥檚 Feast? What makes Britten鈥檚 writing for the bassoon so extraordinary? And how does John Adams create trumpet 鈥渟urround sound鈥?

There are also some irresistible, toe-tapping dances from one of the baroque period's most innovative composers, Jean-F茅ry Rebel, energetic rhythms and catchy tunes from Bartok鈥檚 Dance Suite, and overwhelming sounds from Messiaen that remind Cecelia of a Mark Rothko painting.

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