BBC Radio 3 - Inside Music, Accordionist Ksenija Sidorova with powerful melodies and musical embraces

Hear accordionist Ksenija Sidorova open up a colourful selection of music from the inside.

Accordionist Ksenija Sidorova reveals familiar and unfamiliar works in a new light, from a piece that shows all the colours of the guitar, to electronic heart beats.

Classical accordionist Ksenija Sidorova shares a tranquil choral piece to accompany us through hard times, and the Signum Saxophone Quartet play what Ksenija thinks could be the best version of a track from Star Wars. 

She also finds some perfect musical pairings - from the unusual combination of mandolin and piano in a track by Omer Avital, to the transportive sonorities of accordion combined with electronic music, and a conductor whose connection with his orchestra shines through a symphony by Tchaikovsky. 

Plus, a harp piece by Lavinia Meijer which is the perfect lullaby… 

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