A son. A husband. A keen-fisherman. Someone who felt most alive in particular moments that had nothing to do with a title.\nIn this first conversation of Crescendo Conversations, Prof. Paul Kelly shares four pieces of music that trace the full arc of a life — where he came from, what lit him up, what the weight of the pandemic revealed about him, and what music he is walking toward now.\nWhat emerges isn't a career retrospective. It's something far more interesting: a portrait of a person who has held enormous responsibility and remained, quietly, himself.\nThis is a conversation about family, belonging, courage and hope, told through the only language that bypasses everything we've learned to perform.\n\"Zen is a great conversationalist. I didn't know what to expect before the interview, and now I feel grounded, elated and honoured.\" — Prof. Paul Kelly\nMusic credits:\nClarinet Concerto in A, K622, Mov.II.  Wolfgang Amadeus MozartReginald Kell (clarinet), Zimbler SinfoniettaAmerican Decca, recorded in 1950. MdidiFaith MussaUsed with permission Spiegel im Spiegel (for violin and piano)Arvo PärtGeorge Vi (violin) & Zen Zeng (piano)Used with permission Ave MariaFranz SchubertClaire Dux (soprano & piano)Parlophone Odeon Series, recorded in 1933.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/_EGkS0kMIVqWDm5C4h5L3GEQLbAnprpNCDXW0H8tIQY/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9mY2Vl/YTJkMGFlMjUzMjQ2/MjJiOGY5Y2Y5MWIx/ZDMzOS5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
