Soprano Anna Prohaska with a road trip and a musical earthquake
Soprano Anna Prohaska reveals familiar and unfamiliar works in a new light, from the last song that Schubert wrote to the perfect soundtrack for a road trip around Brittany.
Soprano Anna Prohaska has sung with some of the world鈥檚 greatest opera houses and orchestras. Offstage she鈥檚 also a film music buff, and her programme explores some of Hans Zimmer鈥檚 influences as well a film score by Daft Punk with a distinctly Wagnerian flavour.
Anna shares a piece by Gesualdo that she believes is shaped by his financial situation, visits Schubert鈥檚 house to hear the last song he wrote, and enjoys some of Janacek鈥檚 more intimate writing for violin and piano.
She also describes the process of getting to know her late grandfather, the conductor Felix Prohaska, by listening to the recordings he made in the 1950s.
A series in which each week a musician explores a selection of music - from the inside.
