Cellist Natalie Clein - musical motion and oceanic stillness

Natalie Clein opens up a selection of classical music from her point of view as a cellist - revealing familiar and unfamiliar works in a new light.

Natalie Clein is a world-renowned cellist whose musical explorations have led her to work with composers, dancers and writers.

Today, from her living room in Berlin, Natalie starts where her career began - with Bach鈥檚 cello suites. She then finds personal relevance in Steve Reich鈥檚 looping melodies, before enjoying some sumptuous violin playing from Anne-Sophie Mutter.

She also muses on how a simple transition from one note to the next can make you feel as if you鈥檙e sinking into the depths of an ocean, and reveals how a simple fairy tale by Prokofiev may be concealing a more profound statement of longing.

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