Pianist and musicologist Samantha Ege with spirituals, seasons, and strong women

Samantha Ege reveals works of music in a new light, and finds female composers and performers with remarkable stories, including Nina Simone and Vit臎zslava Kapr谩lov谩.

Pianist and musicologist Samantha Ege explores music from Bach to 叠别测辞苍肠茅, incorporating spirituals, sisterhood, and the seasons along the way.

Samantha admires Vladimir Horowitz鈥檚 lyricism and especially his use of dynamics when he鈥檚 performing Scarlatti sonatas on a modern piano, and finds the electric energy of string music by Gra偶yna Bacewicz reminds her of heavy metal music.

She also finds surprising connections between two piano pieces separated by a few hundred years, and deconstructs an arrangement of a song by 叠别测辞苍肠茅.

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