Composer Soosan Lolavar explores deep musical connections
British-Iranian composer Soosan Lolavar describes how her recent treatment for cancer has changed her relationship with music.
Soosan Lolavar is a British-Iranian composer and researcher. Today on Inside Music, she discovers how composers like Jan菐膰ek, Philip Glass and Ligeti often revisit their best ideas.
Soosan also describes the way her recent treatment for cancer has changed her relationship with music, forging deeper connections with the works of Mahler, Sibelius and Beethoven.
And she also finds how a performance by the legendary Iranian singer Mohammadreza Shajarian conjures moments of freedom, wild horses and the folk traditions of Sicily.
A series in which each week a musician explores a selection of music - from the inside.
