Cellist Matthew Barley on textures, togetherness and taking your time

Cellist Matthew Barley reveals familiar and unfamiliar works in a new light, from the deepest recesses of the piano, to the soaring perfection of Alison Balsom鈥檚 trumpet.

Today on Inside Music, cellist Matthew Barley reveals moments of fresh insight into music making: from his cello teacher Natalia Shakhovskaya in Moscow, to the perfectly in sync ensemble playing of the Calefax Reed Quintet.

Matthew also plays a track by Anna Meredith from his upcoming album, and finds adventurous and shocking harmony in the choral writing of 16th-century composer Carlo Gesualdo and also Morten Lauridsen, four hundred years later.

Plus, a difficult situation leads Matthew to a new opportunity鈥�

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