Singer and songwriter Olivia Chaney finds musical connections and contradictions
Singer/songwriter Olivia Chaney reveals familiar and unfamiliar works in a new light, from flamenco to the fragmented melodies of Edmund Finnis.
Singer and songwriter Olivia Chaney shares music that may at first seem contradictory - from Purcell鈥檚 ability to combine irony and humour with beauty, to a very modern and free recording of Bach鈥檚 keyboard music鈥�
Olivia also marvels at Stravinsky鈥檚 ability to encompass many musical styles within his own unique voice, compares Lorraine Hunt Lieberson to Joni Mitchell, and explains why flamenco revealed to her what she truly loves about folk music.
Plus, Olivia plays a track from her forthcoming album that was recorded in one take鈥�
A series in which each week a musician explores a selection of music - from the inside.
