Trombonist Peter Moore unmutes the music that inspires him

Peter Moore, principal trombone of the London Symphony Orchestra, explores familiar and unfamiliar works in a new light.

When he was only 12 years old, Peter Moore was the youngest ever winner of 大象传媒 Young Musician of the Year. Now he is renowned both as principal trombone of the London Symphony Orchestra, and as a soloist.

Today on Inside Music, Peter reveals how far trombone technique can go with a piece by Gunther Schuller, and shows how a plunger and a mute can make a trombone sound like a jazz singer.

He also shares recordings of performers who he thinks make unparalleled sounds - from the purity of Vladimir Horowitz鈥檚 piano playing, to the versatility of Ole Edvard Antonsen on the cornet, and the natural perfection of Ella Fitzgerald鈥檚 voice.

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