Chris Thile on BBC Radio 3 February 26
For those who can receive it (and on the BBC Sounds app thereafter) on Saturday February 26th, 13.00 - 15.00, two hours of Chris Thile on the Inside Music show:
"Mandolinist Chris Thile travels from Bach to bluegrass.
Mandolinist, singer and composer Chris Thile, known for his genre-defying approach, shares an insight into the eclectic sound worlds that inspire him. He finds delight in the technical prowess of Glenn Gould, is pulled in by the powerful tides of a Benjamin Britten opera, and explores the improvisational - and spiritual - musings of John Coltrane.
In a celebration of folk music’s many forms, Chris also shares a track from ‘father of bluegrass’ Bill Monroe, unpacks a visceral Bartók recording, and tunes in to the rich fiddle playing traditions of Scandinavia."
