Conductor Paavo J盲rvi with a playlist of grandeur and sweeping melodies

Conductor Paavo J盲rvi reveals familiar and unfamiliar works in a new light, including highly atmospheric music from T玫nu K玫rvits and a famous symphony by Tchaikovsky.

Paavo J盲rvi is one of the world's great conductors and he has worked with many leading orchestras around the globe, as well as having made over a hundred recordings. In this programme he draws on his Estonian roots and chooses music by some of that country鈥檚 finest composers including T玫nu K玫rvits, Erkki-Sven T眉眉r and Arvo P盲rt.

Paavo also discusses the purity of Bruckner鈥檚 symphonic music, Oscar Peterson鈥檚 amazing piano licks, and remembers his close friend the pianist Lars Vogt.

Plus Paavo shares a favourite track by Leonard Cohen that encourages everyone to just slow down鈥�

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