Violinist Carolin Widmann on clouds, courage and carpets of sound
Carolin Widmann opens up a selection of classical music from a violinist鈥檚 point of view - revealing familiar and unfamiliar works in a new light.
Carolin Widmann chooses a wide selection of music that reflects her approach to performance. She discovers Herbert von Karajan putting ego to one side and allowing soprano Jessye Norman to soar over a 鈥榗arpet of sound鈥�, and remembers the blistered fingers that Pierre Boulez felt was a necessary outcome when playing one of his pieces.
Carolin also analyses the cloud pictures shaped by Debussy from instrumental sounds and explores the courage it takes to make a musical line so simple that time seems to stand still.
A series in which each week a musician explores a selection of music - from the inside.
