Violinist Darragh Morgan with music that stops you in your tracks

Violinist Darragh Morgan reveals familiar and unfamiliar works in a new light, from the brooding majesty of a one-movement symphony to the vibrant musical landscapes of Mali.

Violinist Darragh Morgan shares recordings made by his mentors, Detlef Hahn and Paul Zukofsky, which feature perfect demonstrations of intriguing violin bow techniques. He also delves into his vinyl collection to share some music from Mali and explores music whose irregular rhythms enchant the listener, including pieces by Kevin Volans and Steven Reich.

Plus, a heartfelt elegy which manages to express comfort and hurt simultaneously.

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