Composer and Clarinettist Mark Simpson with a Geyser, a Guitar and a Gran Partita
Composer and clarinettist Mark Simpson opens up a colourful selection of music from the inside - revealing familiar and unfamiliar works in a new light.
Composer and clarinettist Mark Simpson takes us behind the scenes of his latest composition, Geysir, which he recorded in lockdown with friends including oboist Nicholas Daniel, horn player Ben Goldscheider and bassoonist Amy Harman. Mark also chooses music by a composer he became obsessed with during 2020, Michael Tippett, and finds the conductor Franz Xavier-Roth breathing new life into Beethoven鈥檚 famous Fifth Symphony.
And there鈥檚 an ethereal piece by Danish composer Per N酶rg氓rd that features an invented language by the Swiss artist Adolf W枚lfli.
A series in which each week a musician explores a selection of music - from the inside.
