BBC Radio 3 - Inside Music, Musical honesty and virtuosity with oboist and conductor Nicholas Daniel

Hear a leading musician open up a colourful selection of music from the inside.

Nicholas Daniel opens up a selection of classical music from his point of view as an oboist and conductor - revealing familiar and unfamiliar works in a new light.

Oboist and conductor Nicholas Daniel plays music that has got under his skin over the years. He delights in astounding technical feats achieved by violinist Maxim Vengerov and flautist James Galway, and is captivated by the sense of truth and openness he picks up from pianist Radu Lupu playing a Schubert impromptu. 

He also finds James MacMillan using voices as if they were instruments and tells how a five-year-old girl directing a Balinese gamelan orchestra helped an eminent conductor understand a little more about his job. 

Plus Cleo Laine the coloratura...!

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