Horn player Felix Klieser with musical reimaginings and reconstructions

Horn player Felix Klieser reveals familiar and unfamiliar works in a new light, including epic orchestral music by Bruckner and John Williams, and a famous Handel aria reimagined.

Horn player Felix Klieser is one of the stars of the ѿý Proms 2023, and on Inside Music he’ll be introducing some of the music he’s performing at the Royal Albert Hall, as well as a fascinating playlist from around the world.

Felix chooses a reconstruction based on the music of Anton Bruckner, a Handel aria reworked for the French horn, and vibrant pieces for wind ensemble by György Ligeti and Francis Poulenc.

We’ll also pay a visit to Mexico with a recording by the project ensemble “The Impossible Orchestra” dreamed up by the conductor Alondra de la Parra, and Felix shares a famous song from Hong Kong performed by singer and actor Leslie Cheung.

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