Recorder player and violinist Charlotte Barbour-Condini on reversing the version

Charlotte Barbour-Condini opens up a selection of music from her point of view as a recorder player and violinist - revealing familiar and unfamiliar works in a new light.

Charlotte Barbour-Condini won the woodwind final of ±«Óătv Young Musician in 2012 playing the recorder She’s also an accomplished violinist, a member of Chineke! and a founding member of the ensemble Parandrus.

Today, from a makeshift studio in her corridor, Charlotte reveals how Chopin can really work on a harpsichord, how Scarlatti’s harpsichord sonatas are transformed on a grand piano, and how Bach’s Goldberg Variations played by a recorder quintet sound perfectly balanced - the effect being like a kind of multiplayer organ.

She also explores how a precise musical score can often come across as being completely improvised, and plays an 80-year-old recording that’s inspirational to her.

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