Cor anglais player Sue B枚hling with music beyond the bar lines

Cor anglais player Sue B枚hling reveals familiar and unfamiliar works in a new light, from virtuosic wind music by Jan Dismas Zelenka, to the lingering melodies of Howard Shore.

Sue B枚hling is the principal cor anglais player at the London Philharmonic Orchestra. Today, Sue gives an insight into what it鈥檚 like to play on some very famous film soundtracks, finds perfection in the beautiful voice of V茅ronique Gens and reveals a piece by the Baroque composer Jan Dismas Zelenka which, as a wind player, is almost impossible to play.

Plus, some James Brown to lift any mood鈥

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