Deep sounds with violinist Alexander Sitkovetsky
Alexander Sitkovetsky opens up a selection of classical music from his point of view as a violinist - revealing familiar and unfamiliar works in a new light.
Violinist Alexander Sitkovetsky explores the unique sound of the cimbalom, explains why Sibelius was a master orchestrator, and reveals a composer who really knows how to write for the violin.
Plus, Alexander reminisces about his early experiences of music, from listening to The Beatles during family car journeys, to discovering Prokofiev鈥檚 Peter and the Wolf, and appreciating the musical skill of his Dad鈥檚 progressive rock band, Autograph.
A series in which each week a musician explores a selection of music - from the inside.
