Conductor Edwin Outwater with music from Mozart to metal
Conductor Edwin Outwater reveals familiar and unfamiliar works in a new light, from intergalactic Stravinsky to the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra crossed with Metallica.
Conductor Edwin Outwater shares a playlist that draws upon musical inspirations from far and wide. As a young conductor he was mentored by Michael Tilson Thomas and this relationship is the inspiration for music by Debussy and Tilson Thomas himself, as well as a spectacular fusion of the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra with heavy metal superstars Metallica.
Edwin also talks about visiting Ella Fitzgerald鈥檚 house every Christmas as a youngster, how music from Schubert鈥檚 song cycle 鈥楽wan Song鈥� conjures up sheer terror, and the challenge of creating a complex recording with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra during lockdown.
And Arnold Schoenberg shows off his lighter side with music that Edwin thinks could be mistaken for George Gershwin.
A series in which each week a musician explores a selection of music - from the inside.
