Inside Music with Angela Hewitt

Pianist Angela Hewitt opens up a colourful selection of classical music from the inside - revealing both familiar and unfamiliar works in a new light.

Find out how keyboard players can learn how to phrase the music of J.S. Bach by listening to the way that singers do it with pianist Angela Hewitt, who also explains why the famous Adagietto from Mahler's 5th Symphony should never turn into a dirge.

She also showcases two contrasting pieces by fellow Canadian musicians, and thrills to the verbal and musical skills of Noel Coward.

At 2 o'clock Angela's Must Listen piece is a passionate and poignant work in a detailed recording by conductor Arturo Toscanini and the NBC Symphony Orchestra.

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