Baritone Benjamin Appl with sparkling voices and inspiring collaborations
Baritone Benjamin Appl reveals familiar and unfamiliar works in a new light, from a song to clean the house to, to his favourite opera.
Today on Inside Music, baritone Benjamin Appl admires the way lutenist Thomas Dunford draws listeners into his sound world, and reveals how Max Raabe uses his voice to emphasise the text in the song Bel Ami.
There’s also music for reflection in the hands of pianist Martha Argerich, and Benjamin shares his experience of witnessing the composition process of György Kurtág.
Plus, a shining tenor voice who Benjamin claims is almost universally admired by singers…
A series in which each week a musician explores a selection of music - from the inside.
