Conductor and keyboard player Steven Devine uncovers musical stories

Conductor and keyboard player Steven Devine opens up a selection of music - revealing familiar and unfamiliar works in a new light.

Pianist, harpsichordist and conductor Steven Devine shares a range of musical choices from the unique Brazilian-jazz-ballet mix conjured up by Darius Milhaud to pieces associated with London鈥檚 18th-century Pleasure Gardens.

He also discovers the point where dance meets symphonic writing in music by Tchaikovsky and finds Mozart bringing an extra degree of operatic emotion to the text of the mass.

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