Violinist Davina Clarke with music to make you smile
Davina Clarke reveals familiar and unfamiliar works in a new light, from John Dowland’s Flow my tears to Barber’s Violin Concerto.
As a teenager violinist Davina Clarke fell in love with choral music and today she serves up several choral treats, including Lotti’s Crucifixus, Brahms’s Geistliches Lied and William Harris’s Faire is the heaven.
She’s also thrilled by a live recording of Hector Berlioz’s Overture ‘Le Corsaire’ and enjoys violinist Joshua Bell’s polished yet exhilarating playing in a miniature by Fritz Kreisler.
Plus, her insights into obbligato textures, where a melodic part accompanies a solo line, in music by JS Bach and Handel.
A series in which each week a musician explores a selection of music - from the inside.
