BBC Radio 3 - Inside Music, Composer Hannah Kendall explores the notes between the notes

Hear composer Hannah Kendall open up a colourful selection of music from the inside.

Hannah Kendall opens up a selection of classical music from a composer’s point of view - revealing familiar and unfamiliar works in a new light.

Hannah Kendall has composed music for various orchestras, ensembles and choirs throughout the UK, and her new piece Tuxedo: Vasco 'de' Gama opened the 2020 live BBC Proms with its world premiere. In 2015 Hannah won the Women of the Future Award for Arts and Culture. 

Today Hannah explains how Mahan Esfahani’s recording of Bach’s Goldberg Variations transformed the way she heard them, and explores the fluttery flute writing in Tania León’s Alma. 

She also talks about the effect a space can have on a sound and treats us to the virtuosic tuba playing that changed her whole view of the instrument.

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