Violinist Elena Urioste pays attention to what鈥檚 going on in the background

Violinist Elena Urioste reveals familiar and unfamiliar works in a new light, including a mystical work by Golijov and Bach performed on the mandolin.

Violinist Elena Urioste shares pieces that have shaped not only her violin playing but also her appreciation of music. Her choices range from Debussy in the hands of the Punch Brothers to vocal lines that, for her, embody the beauty of sound that she thinks all string players should strive for. Chamber music features too, with pieces by Beethoven and Coleridge-Taylor.

She also points out how important it often is to hear what鈥檚 going on in the background of a piece as she unearths accompaniments that remind her of the most delicious mulled wine!

Plus, Elena shares performances and anecdotes from some of her mentors.

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