Composer Hannah Kendall explores the notes between the notes
Hannah Kendall opens up a selection of classical music from a composer鈥檚 point of view - revealing familiar and unfamiliar works in a new light.
Hannah Kendall has composed music for various orchestras, ensembles and choirs throughout the UK, and her new piece Tuxedo: Vasco 'de' Gama opened the 2020 live 成人论坛 Proms with its world premiere. In 2015 Hannah won the Women of the Future Award for Arts and Culture.
Today Hannah explains how Mahan Esfahani鈥檚 recording of Bach鈥檚 Goldberg Variations transformed the way she heard them, and explores the fluttery flute writing in Tania Le贸n鈥檚 Alma.
She also talks about the effect a space can have on a sound and treats us to the virtuosic tuba playing that changed her whole view of the instrument.
A series in which each week a musician explores a selection of music - from the inside.
