Clara Amfo

from Classical Fix · host BBC Radio 3

Clemmie's guest is Radio 1 DJ and Live Lounge host, Clara Amfo. So what happens when a hip hop and RnB fan with a musical theatre obsession tries out classical? We take a trip into Clara's imagination as she describes a love scene conjured up by Beethoven and suggests why she thinks classical music works so well when sampled. Clara's playlist in full Beethoven: Symphony No 5 Jordi Savall: Canarios Olafur Arnalds: Eyes Shut Chopin: Nocturne in C minor Elgar: Cello Concerto Alissa Firsova: Stabat Mater Richard Strauss: Four Last Songs Bonus tracks Debussy: Clair de lune Morten Lauridsen: Les Chansons des Roses James MacMillan: Gallant Weaver Eric Whitacre: Sleep
