Violinist and conductor Johannes Pramsohler chooses an inventive and joyful playlist
Violinist and conductor Johannes Pramsohler reveals familiar and unfamiliar works in a new light, from a musical earthquake by Handel, to Bach in the hands of Anton Webern.
Johannes Pramsohler is a baroque violinist and conductor who likes to explore music from any number of inventive and innovative angles. For this edition of Inside Music, Johannes chooses music by a number of overlooked composers including Friedrich Gernsheim, Josef Rheinberger, Franz Clement and Giovanni Alberto Ristori, and when you hear these pieces you may well wonder why they aren’t heard more today.
Heading back into the musical mainstream, Johannes also chooses string music by Mozart and Maurice Ravel, an excerpt from Verdi’s Otello and the last movement of Richard Strauss’ oboe concerto.
Plus, incredibly modern music that was written in the 18th century.
A series in which each week a musician explores a selection of music - from the inside.
