Conductor Delyana Lazarova with a playlist of rhythm and grandeur

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

Assistant conductor of the Hallé Orchestra, Delyana Lazarova, is drawn to music with an emotional sweep and her choice of majestic symphonic works from Brahms, Dvorák and Beethoven certainly confirms that. Delyana is equally fascinated by music steeped in folk traditions and visits Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria via Bela Bartók, Georges Enescu and the Bulgarian State Television Female Choir.

And she draws attention to the music of two less familiar composers: Grazyna Bacewicz and Elsa Barraine.

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