Pianist Clare Hammond with musical rediscoveries and vibrant virtuosity
Pianist Clare Hammond reveals familiar and unfamiliar works in a new light, from searing vocal music to a glowing piano quintet.
Today on Inside Music, pianist Clare Hammond introduces different examples of how music isn’t always easy to engage with - from her gradual understanding of Grace Williams's writing style, to prisoners’ reactions to a concert she gave.
Clare also plays music by composers who have only recently been celebrated, from Dorween Carwithen’s witty opera The Sofa, to Hélène de Montgeroult whose music Clare thinks reveals our limited view of the Classical and Romantic styles.
Plus, a piece for piano that is fun to listen to but extremely difficult to play…
A series in which each week a musician explores a selection of music - from the inside.
