Violinist Kinga Ujsz谩szi with secret sonatas and symbolic semitones

Kinga Ujsz谩szi opens up a selection of classical music from her point of view as a baroque violinist - revealing familiar and unfamiliar works in a new light.

Violinist Kinga Ujsz谩szi shares a playlist featuring Nordic and Hungarian folk tunes, violin sonatas which have lain undiscovered for hundreds of years, and a fortepiano concerto in the hands of Alexander Melnikov.

Kinga also finds double basses imitating chainsaws, muses on the creative possibilities offered by the form of the passacaglia, and explains why Haydn鈥檚 string quartets show that he would be a perfect dinner party guest. There鈥檚 also plenty of drama, with the epic finale of Wagner鈥檚 Ring Cycle and a peek behind some of the doors of Bluebeard鈥檚 Castle鈥

Plus, music that鈥檚 both French and flexible!

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