Inside Music with Javier Perianes

Pianist Javier Perianes opens up a colourful selection of music from the inside - revealing familiar and unfamiliar works in a new light

A series in which each week a musician reveals a selection of music - from the inside. Today pianist Javier Perianes explores the emotional heart of performances from Schubert鈥檚 String Quintet in C major and Puccini鈥檚 Tosca, to Tchaikovsky鈥檚 鈥淧ath茅tique鈥 symphony and a Mazurka by Chopin played by Artur Rubinstein.

Javier also finds that the slow tempo conductor Otto Klemperer brings to Bach鈥檚 St. Matthew Passion allows a particularly mystical quality to emerge, and recalls how Daniel Barenboim gave Javier particular insights into the piano sonatas of Beethoven.

At 2 o鈥檆lock Javier plays his Must Listen piece featuring someone he calls 鈥渁 poet of the piano鈥, Dinu Lipatti. The recording was made 70 years ago and according to Javier, no-one has made a finer one since.
