Double bass player Dominic Seldis with venerable venues and bold bass lines

Dominic Seldis opens up a selection of music from his point of view as a double bass player - revealing familiar and unfamiliar works in a new light.

Principal double bass player in the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra Dominic Seldis explores music performed in extraordinary spaces, from the intimacy of the Sistine Chapel to stadiums seating tens of thousands of people, and the legendary London Palladium.

From his studio in Amsterdam, Dominic muses on the magic of a conductor鈥檚 baton, admires a children鈥檚 tune given a dark twist by Mahler, and marvels at James Jamerson鈥檚 one-fingered bass playing.

Plus, Dominic reminisces on his favourite musical theatre experiences, and even tests listeners with a memory challenge鈥�

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