Conductor Ryan Bancroft with music to surprise you
Conductor Ryan Bancroft reveals familiar and unfamiliar works in a new light, from a combination of old and new in Caroline Shaw鈥檚 Entr鈥檃cte to Sibelius鈥檚 sunny Spring Song.
Conductor Ryan Bancroft finds that simplicity can be very powerful - from French Baroque composer Jacques Duphly鈥檚 music for harpsichord, to CPE Bach鈥檚 Magnificat.
He also plays tracks which are somewhat trickier including Aaron Cassidy鈥檚 鈥業, purples, spat blood, laugh of beautiful lips鈥�, a piece all about struggle, and the presto from Mozart鈥檚 鈥楶rague鈥� Symphony which is almost unplayably fast鈥�
Plus, a piece that for Ryan shows why music is all about having fun鈥�
A series in which each week a musician explores a selection of music - from the inside.
