A new series in which each week a musician reveals a selection of music - from the inside. Today soprano Claire Booth explains how a song by Mussorgsky has to be sung in Russian to stop it sounding like Gilbert and Sullivan, why the scherzo of Bruckner's 8th Symphony requires just the right tempo and how a Liszt arrangement of a Schubert song made her daughter cry with fear. At 2 o'clock Claire reveals her Must Listen piece. It's a work she describes as dividing musical opinion - but wonders whether the sceptics have simply been listening to the wrong recordings. As she says, her chosen performance has opened her ears to the piece's sense of space. A Tandem Production for BBC Radio 3.

He also introduces music created by his father, Ivan Karabits along with other composers including Rachmaninov, Liszt and Prokofiev.

Invention and Exploration on Early Music Day with Violinist Rachel Podger.

Today many radio stations across Europe are celebrating a European Day of Early Music. So to mark that here on Radio 3, we've asked the Ambassador for the day, Rachel Podger, to host Inside Music. Rachel will be spending a couple of hours getting inside a wide selection of pieces that make her life as a performer of (and listener to) early music so rewarding. Rachel remembers the effect of singing the Sanctus from JS Bach's Mass in B minor as a teenager and how it fostered a lifelong fascination for the composer. She also tries to work out why Handel's tunes are so memorable, and finds a keyboard fantasy by Mozart that seems to break all the classical rules. Plus a jazz pianist who brought a new slant to baroque-rooted music by Shostakovich and the thrill of improvising on a melody that's nearly 500 years old. A series in which each week a musician explores a selection of music - from the inside.

Recorder Player and Violinist Charlotte Barbour-Condini on Reversing the Version.

Recorder and violin player Charlotte Barbour-Condini, winner of the Young Musician woodwind final in 2012, makes a second appearance on the programme. She 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 multi-player 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 she finds inspirational.

Plus, a track which takes him back to when he was a drummer in a jazz-fusion band in the 80s.

Roísín Ni Dhuill takes listeners deep into the string section of the orchestra with personal insights into how a Mahler symphony sounds from the very middle of the concert platform, and how performing a slow movement by Tchaikovsky requires both immense concentration and group awareness. Roísín also remembers how her ears were 'on stalks' in a German opera pit as she heard Cecilia Bartoli perform unforgettable vocal feats on the stage above her head. And she tries to get her head (and hands) around the way that traditional Irish fiddler Kevin Burke uses his bow to create unique percussive effects. A series in which each week a musician explores a selection of music - from the inside.
