Recorder player Sarah Jeffery on music without limits

Recorder player Sarah Jeffery reveals familiar and unfamiliar works in a new light, from the shifting rhythms of a Dvorak Symphony, to a piece by Dowland played on 13 recorders.

Recorder player Sarah Jeffery reveals how she arranged and recorded Steve Reich鈥檚 Vermont Counterpoint for recorder and electronics, and describes how a very simple opening of a rising semitone can be enough to draw you into a piece.

Sarah also marvels at the unforgettable moment the organ dramatically cuts through the texture in Saint-Sa毛ns鈥檚 Symphony No.3, and discovers a very different type of organ in the form of 13 recorder players鈥�

Plus, a track which combines throat singing, a driving snare drum, buzzes and creaks鈥�

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