Horn Player Sarah Willis Explores the Power of Dance
Sarah Willis opens up a selection of music from a French horn player鈥檚 point of view - revealing familiar and unfamiliar works in a new light.
From her home in Berlin, French horn player Sarah Willis listens to London Brass bringing 16th-century dances to life, hears the syncopated rhythms of jazz in a Beethoven string quartet and enjoys the ecstatic levels of club energy that composer Thomas Ades conjures up using a symphony orchestra.
Sarah also highlights the painterly partnership of Claude Debussy and Vikingur Olafsson and wonders what the collective noun for a group of horn players might be...
A series in which each week a musician explores a selection of music - from the inside.
