now when he was just a little boy. a box sweet for cello moved to tears so his mom very wisely sent him to a cello teacher now he's one of the world's top soloists and has performed with old a major orchestras to great acclaim and he's even co-founded an entire symphony orchestra in bolivia. beethoven and cochabamba bolivia. within just a few years of its birth you were cast off yet i'm only going to believe you has become one of the country's top orchestras co-founded by german cellist leo not. live in violinist me. it was on a south american tour in two thousand and twelve that edge and both met salazar and other young bolivian musicians and was struck by their passionate playing but also by their limited funds. just months later edge and was back in bolivia with

european funding to help found the orchestra since then he's returned regularly as a soloist and mentor. his enthusiasm there has been infectious whether it's for contemporary composers or for beethoven sonata as he recorded for his new album coming out next month. and hot off the press i have a copy of the album which isn't out quite yet but will be in a couple of days that's because i've got a copy because i've got the man himself with me. welcome to the program you recorded these offices in baldwin beethoven's birthplace was there a special reason for that. well it was it was a coincidence the time for us to do it but it was nice to be so close to. where he

was born and we visited his house and we shot three trailers over the city as well for the album and it was great to be so so close to where where he was born and to visit his birthplace and it's the i think it's four hundred i don't know how many hundred hundred fifty years two hundred fifty how many shares just now i want to talk about this extraordinary orchestra bolivia what is so special about it in that you defy you devote a loss of your time to get wise to it. because i met musicians who are really burning for for their own development burning to have music in their country in a place where there was nothing to support that and not even any suggestion that they could make a living that way it wasn't like somebody said young people should make music let's let's invest but they were just we want this. we don't all we have is the passion in our hearts and whatever we can find online to listen to music we can print but there was no structure there was no system in place and i just thought if

i don't do something who will and it's amazing how quickly it develops and i mean young people today it must be hard to get parts in bolivia but to classical music is everything is sort of it's got to be two seconds loam has not made for classical music you need a bit of patience so that's the thing there's so much. initiative to get young people to like classical music and there that was the it was the opposite they already found in their heart the love for the music that is was in anybody to help them improve or help them you know work with them and bring them to the next level and so it was a very different kind of work i had to do i didn't have to explain to them the meaning they do every answer the meaning of now i have is this a professional volley in the set to be wants cellos play too loud is there any truth well if you if you ask my janis i would say you know who recorded the cd he'll agree with you. not that they play to love it we have an escape. kind of an

inferiority complex about being not as loud as a violin especially when we're compared with the violin we feel we have to kind of . ok now you have also recently become a conductor and you've worked under the world's great conductors on the greats and doctors so what's it been like having to have a maybe fifty musicians as opposed to one yourselves i mean it must be a very different discipline it's a great feeling it's great facing the musicians not having the behind you when you play because as a soloist as a child as a special you don't see almost anybody maybe. it turns out your your projection is always towards the audience and as a conductor your. bass is playing at you people playing towards you through you and the audience is behind you so it's a completely different kind of communication with musicians and it's a very very nice feeling we'll be bold in the future yeah. good luck with that i'd better say the cd but this is this is it is available on cd

but this is a wonderful vinyl copy and good luck with everything you do. going to look after those musicians in bolivia thanks. time now for some food for thought yes it's that man again our europe correspondent who's got his mixing bowl out this week to give us the lowdown on french politics on french culture and at the same time baking a humble baguette what with the e.u. be without its. because many of us that without champaign the eiffel tower the thirty five all work week and labor strikes the french still see themselves as. they may have a point when it comes to white bread. the baguette is undeniably longest you. and president my car hopes to be the new master

chef. in europe's kitchen he's no man of half baked ideas he has a recipe for the entire you he wants a common euro zone budget a new finance minister a european army a share defense budget a european secret service academy an e.u. wide asylum agency you can envision agency. defined by french law the pick at home is made from just four ingredients. water. and plain flour. the water should be nuked warm just like the tap at reception his ideas have gotten from other european countries not to mention some of his own citizens. with so much resistance at home my course looking to his neighbors especially germany swapping recipes

a treaty for an even closer friendship with anglo american all sixteen pages all on paper a piece of cake is need. to reform a whole continent you need an iron grip. but this recipe requires a soft touch don't need the bread just mix the ingredients and transfer the dough to a lightly or oil bowl. ready to bake. to doas to rise first for. one hour stretch and fold it in the process like this. and then leave it in the fridge for forty eight. for the french baguette the famous thirty five week is. the only. surviving. now for the part that really requires a steady hand the shaping of the pickets. don't apply too much pressure just like

with your e.u. partners. oh and if. i remember you yeah i did finally score the book at short and sweet man o. it's like bringing the french budget back in line with the rules set by the e.u. . scene and long cuts. right parked in the back when you can just score one or two but gets when it comes to slashing the budget france has its work cut out. for it all can the president take the heat stick the dough in the oven for twenty minutes at two hundred fifty degrees celsius. and. get by the way my call once you go to recognize the park get as

a world cultural treasure. the fitting tribute to luck conde nast young. and old instructions for how to make the humbled by getting all the other. website at the w dot com slash culture now here's a bit of up cycling for you if you don't know what to do with their old denim jeans you could get them turned into you just have to give them to british artist in barry who makes collages. out of the ne my hear you cry i think these will surprise you. this gigantic pile of jeans is artist in barry's color palette barry has at least two thousand pairs of jeans here in his london studio and he needs them all he's constantly searching for just the right

shade of blue so now i can artists. next. basically going to go find the right shade or walk around. an hour free hours just trying to find the right pace. berries large format photo realistic works look like drawings from a distance but up close you see that there are intricate denim collages. once barry locates the right shade he cuts the fabric to just the right shape and size and fixes it in place with a special ed piece of. piece by piece the picture grows to many layers to make it almost three dimensional. earliest collages were portraits of one nine hundred fifty s. actors who transformed denims image i want to make these portraits of his people made and what it is today. and it wasn't seen as high fashion.

these days barry's inspiration comes from the city he lives in london. he's even devoted an entire series to the laundromats he says are the hearts of many communities here it's sad to see so many closing down so i want to document quite a few in london. you can take several weeks to create a collage like this one. barry also creates huge denim installations in galleries around the world could sell for tens of thousands of euros but he also exhibits in other spaces like at selfridges department store. he wants his arts like jeans to be for every.

extraordinary pictures love to see them up close but that's it for this edition of also in culture up more of course on the website and all of facebook at g.w. . thanks for watching and we'll be back at the same time tomorrow i hope you'll join us until the.
