Violinist Jack Liebeck discovers musical rebels and pure romanticism
Jack Liebeck opens up a selection of classical music from a violinist’s point of view - revealing familiar and unfamiliar works in a new light.
Jack Liebeck’s choices include music by Friedrich Gulda that makes the cello sound as if it’s being played by Jimi Hendrix, and a piece for cor anglais and strings by the most fidgety composer he knows.
He also reveals how imperfections in performance can give music deeper human resonance and talks about the power that film composers have to make us cry.
Plus, hear how Jack’s photographic skills led him to a front row seat at Alfred Brendel’s farewell recital in Vienna.
A series in which each week a musician explores a selection of music - from the inside.
