Clarinettist Katherine Spencer with a sea cave, a sextet and a silly song

Clarinettist Katherine Spencer reveals familiar and unfamiliar works in a new light, from the power of Clair de Lune sung by Ren茅e Fleming, to the universal appeal of Acker Bilk.

Clarinettist Katherine Spencer, also known in the musical world as Waffy, celebrates movement in music, including Stockhausen鈥檚 quartet for strings and helicopters which makes Katherine feel like she鈥檚 flying, and a piano quintet by Schumann which is best listened to (according to Katherine) in the car.

Katherine also reveals that the first piece she learned on the clarinet was Acker Bilk鈥檚 Stranger on the Shore, and tells an intriguing story about her discovery of Per N酶rg氓rd鈥檚 鈥楤abette鈥檚 Feast Suite鈥�, which shows that the context in which you hear music can completely change the way it makes you feel.

Plus, a cheeseburger song to brighten your day鈥�

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