Horn player Katy Woolley with music of energy and tranquility
Katy Woolley returns to choose a new selection of classical music from her point of view as a horn player - revealing familiar and unfamiliar works in a new light.
French horn player Katy Woolley has been having enforced time off from her job as principal horn of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra in Amsterdam. She鈥檚 found herself in Sydney, Australia for the lockdown, but that hasn鈥檛 stopped her experimenting with the powerful frequencies of the horn as she continues to practice in anticipation of returning to the concert platform.
Today Katy鈥檚 musical choices include a prelude for harpsichord that grows organically from its first, single, potent note, and a piece by Arvo P盲rt that makes her think about time and how music allows us to share it.
She also admires a pianist who makes fast notes meaningful as well as technically impressive, and discovers that in the hands of Tchaikovsky a waltz can still be a waltz, even if it has five beats in the bar rather than three.
A series in which each week a musician explores a selection of music - from the inside.
