Percussionist Andy Barclay with a stirring playlist of great music
Percussionist Andy Barclay reveals familiar and unfamiliar works in a new light, from epic orchestral scores to a musical interpretation of the sound of glaciers calving.
Andy Barclay is the principal percussionist of the London Philharmonic Orchestra, and he鈥檚 lined up a playlist that features some incredible writing for percussion by composers including Tchaikovsky, Michael Tippett, Benjamin Britten and Arnold Schoenberg.
Andy is also fascinated by much softer and meditative music by Perotin, Durufl茅 and Brahms, and reveals how he is brought to tears by Richard Strauss鈥檚 opera Der Rosesnkavalier.
Plus, joyful Bach for the new year.
A series in which each week a musician explores a selection of music - from the inside.
