Symphonies and swing with conductor Tito Muñoz
Tito Muñoz opens up a selection of classical music from his point of view as a conductor - revealing familiar and unfamiliar works in a new light.
Conductor Tito Muñoz reveals his discovery of Mendelssohn’s revised Italian Symphony on a trip to Leipzig, and explains how an orchestra can sound ‘menacing, sly, and nervous’ in the way it swings.
Plus, Tito’s first encounter with historical performance with the playing of violinist Rachel Podger, and how melody can be uncovered in Stravinsky, once you decipher the phrases…
A series in which each week a musician explores a selection of music - from the inside.
