Pianist Elisabeth Brauss with magical motifs and perfect phrasing

Elisabeth Brauss reveals familiar and unfamiliar works in a new light, from a rarely performed piece for piano by Brahms to a heartfelt operatic quartet by Mozart.

Pianist Elisabeth Brauss explores a wide range of music including a favourite song of hers expertly accompanied by Benjamin Britten, a string quartet whose composer has decorated the score with unusual words and markings, and an orchestral sonic adventure by Bernd Alois Zimmermann.

She also shares one of Bach’s Brandenburg Concertos in a fresh and exciting rendition, and a song that reminds her of her childhood.

Plus, an operatic overture phrased in a way you’ve never heard before…

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