Conductor Douglas Boyd with a playlist of vitality and ecstasy

Conductor Douglas Boyd opens up a colourful selection of music from the inside - revealing familiar and unfamiliar works in a new light.

Conductor Douglas Boyd sheds new light on well-loved classics by Schubert, Berlioz and Purcell, and discovers some exuberant and toe-tapping music by Giovanni Sollima and Gyorgy Ligeti.

Dougie also reveals how he once surprised conductor Claudio Abbado with a relatively unknown piece for wind quintet by Beethoven, and demolishes the expectation that Handel鈥檚 Hallelujah Chorus should always be 鈥榣oud, loud and louder still鈥�.

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