Musical springboards with pianist and composer Gwilym Simcock
Pianist and composer Gwilym Simcock opens up a colourful selection of music from the inside - revealing familiar and unfamiliar works in a new light.
Pianist and composer Gwilym Simcock demonstrates that music has no boundaries as he explores sounds ranging from suspended choral harmonies by Eric Whitacre and celestial spirals on the harp, to a rarely heard piano quartet by William Walton and three intriguing minutes from Argentinian composer Astor Piazzolla.
Plus two very different sides of JS Bach and an irresistible Russian waltz.
A series in which each week a musician reveals a selection of music - from the inside.
