Cor anglais player Sue Böhling with music beyond the bar lines
Cor anglais player Sue Böhling reveals familiar and unfamiliar works in a new light, from virtuosic wind music by Jan Dismas Zelenka, to the lingering melodies of Howard Shore.
Sue Böhling is the principal cor anglais player at the London Philharmonic Orchestra. Today, Sue gives an insight into what it’s like to play on some very famous film soundtracks, finds perfection in the beautiful voice of Véronique Gens and reveals a piece by the Baroque composer Jan Dismas Zelenka which, as a wind player, is almost impossible to play.
Plus, some James Brown to lift any mood…
A series in which each week a musician explores a selection of music - from the inside.
A Tandem Production for BBC Radio 3
