Conductor Karina Canellakis on musical majesty and baroque rock
Conductor Karina Canellakis opens up a selection of music from a conductor鈥檚 point of view - revealing familiar and unfamiliar works in a new light.
Karina Canellakis is Chief Conductor of the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic Orchestra, and Principal Guest Conductor of the London Philharmonic Orchestra and the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin.
Today, Karina reveals some of her favourite voices - from the seductive sonority of Sergei Lemeshev singing Tchaikovsky, to the raw honesty of one of Billie Holiday鈥檚 last recordings.
She also finds a whole orchestral world inside a piano trio, and discovers joy in the repetitive music of both John Adams and Bach.
A series in which each week a musician explores a selection of music - from the inside.
