Viola player RoÃsÃn Ni Dhuill’s selection ranges from wild beauty to focussed control
Viola player RoÃsÃn Ni Dhuill with a playlist including Marcello’s beguiling oboe concerto and the thrilling close to one of Nielsen’s symphonies.
RoÃsÃn Ni Dhuill takes us deep into the string section of the orchestra with personal insights into how a Mahler symphony sounds from the very middle of the concert platform, and how performing a slow movement by Tchaikovsky requires both immense concentration and group awareness.
RoÃsÃn also remembers how her ears were ‘on stalks’ in a German opera pit as she heard Cecilia Bartoli perform unforgettable vocal feats on the stage above her head.
And she tries to get her head (and hands) around the way that traditional Irish fiddler Kevin Burke uses his bow to create unique percussive effects.
A series in which each week a musician explores a selection of music - from the inside.
