Soprano Golda Schultz with musical conversations

Soprano Golda Schultz reveals familiar and unfamiliar works in a new light, from a couple鈥檚 collaboration to a powerful story.

Golda Schultz is a soprano who finds conversations in music - between performers, composers and listeners, and today she invites you to explore some of her favourite tracks with her. There鈥檚 virtuosity in many forms - from Mozart, to Bobby McFerrin and Astor Piazzolla, and Golda explains how you achieve tension through harmonic changes with the help of composer Florence Price.

She also reveals the powerful musical storytelling in Rebecca Clarke鈥檚 song The Seal Man, and admires the constantly moving bassline played by Charles Mingus in Duke Ellington鈥檚 Caravan.

Plus, Golda is rendered speechless by the end of Richard Strauss鈥 opera Daphne鈥

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