Patricia Kopatchinskaja in search of why we play
This time, Bas sits down with the extraordinary musician Patricia Kopatchinskaja - someone who refuses to stay in any box. They talk about why we play the music we play, how to stay curious in a world that prefers certainty, and what it really means to find truth inside a piece of music. Patricia shares why she'd rather ask WHY than play it safe, how working with living composers keeps music alive, and why she thinks the word "interpretation" might be missing the point entirely.
A conversation for anyone who believes music is not just notes on a page - but something urgent, human, and alive.
