Oud player Joseph Tawadros finds connections across continents

Joseph Tawadros returns to open up a selection of music from an oud player鈥檚 point of view - revealing familiar and unfamiliar works in a new light.

Oud player and composer Joseph Tawadros unveils another wide-ranging playlist as he returns to present Inside Music for a second time.

Piano music by Scriabin and Rachmaninov features: Joseph is fascinated by these Russian masters鈥 ability to create power and intensity, even in miniature pieces. And Tchaikovsky is there too - but unusually played on two guitars.

There鈥檚 also harmonised yodelling from Switzerland via a film soundtrack, and a song by the Egyptian singer Asmahan, who Joseph describes as sounding like a Middle Eastern Queen of the Night.

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