Composer Joby Talbot with thrilling and beautiful sounds

Composer Joby Talbot reveals familiar and unfamiliar works in a new light, including Mozart鈥檚 final symphony and a glorious adagio that fills the ballet stage with melody.

Joby Talbot is in demand all over the world as a composer for ballet, film and the concert platform. He takes two hours off from his hectic schedule to guide us through a playlist of musical delights, giving insights on instruments like the glass gamelan and the challenges of playing the oboe, how to get an accordion to sigh, and why Stravinsky鈥檚 Rite of Spring works so well as a four-hand piano piece.

From Purcell to P盲rt, klezmer to the King鈥檚 Singers, join Joby on a stimulating tour of music old and new.

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