Bass Matthew Rose with vocal virtuosity and orchestral intensity

Bass Matthew Rose opens up a colourful selection of music from the inside - revealing familiar and unfamiliar works in a new light.

In today’s episode singer Matthew Rose remembers performing Beethoven’s Missa Solemnis with Sir John Eliot Gardiner, reflects on the ancient sound world of Bernstein’s Chichester Psalms and marvels at the voice of George London singing Wagner’s Die Walküre .

Matthew also wonders why Benjamin Britten’s Piano Concerto isn’t better known and feels sorry for poor little defenceless animals being hunted by Haydn.

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