Violinist Patricia Kopatchinskaja with ghosts, gardens and musical magic

Patricia Kopatchinskaja reveals familiar and unfamiliar works in a new light, from Schumann’s violin concerto to a Moldovan musical jam.

Violinist Patricia Kopatchinskaja’s choices today include Antonio Lotti’s ten-part choral Crucifixus, a dance with death in the hands of Franz Schubert, and a piano piece by Eric Satie that reminds her of a secret garden.

Patricia also marvels at violinist Pekka Kuusisto’s interpretation of a Mozart violin concerto, shares an arrangement of a Bach cantata that helped her understand him and is wowed by the visionary genius of Edgard Varèse.

Plus, a track where Patricia plays alongside some of her musical relatives.

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