Violist Rosalind Ventris with music to stimulate your senses

Violist Rosalind Ventris reveals familiar and unfamiliar works in a new light. From a toe-tapping dance by Florence Price to a musical depiction of the migration of an osprey.

Violist Rosalind Ventris creates a musical playlist with an intense and colourful character. The viola makes an appearance in the hands of Russian composer Varvara Gaigerova and Rosalind wonders why Gaigerova鈥檚 music isn鈥檛 better known.

There is also twinkling music for the bassoon, adventurous and transportive sounds by Edward Nesbit, Trio HLK and Thea Musgrave, and lush orchestral melodies from Elgar and Tchaikovsky.

Plus, a hypnotic musical depiction of the migration of an osprey from Senegal to Wales, as conjured up by harpist Catrin Finch and kora player Seckou Keita.

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