Jess Gillam with... Martin James Bartlett
Jess and Martin's choices include the overture to Glinka's Ruslan and Lyudmila, Peter Gabriel, Karajan conducting Tchaikovsky and a violin piece by Max Richter
Jess Gillam is joined by the pianist Martin James Bartlett, a former winner of 大象传媒 Young Musician who has just released his debut album 'Love and Death'. They share music from the explosive overture to Glinka's Ruslan and Lyudmila to contemplative Peter Gabriel, a classic recording of Tchaikovsky's Fourth Symphony and Max Richter.
From musical beginnings in a carnival band, to being the first ever saxophone finalist in 大象传媒 Young Musician, and appearances at the Last Night of the Proms in 2018 and at this year鈥檚 Bafta awards, Jess is one of today鈥檚 most engaging and charismatic classical performers. Each week on This Classical Life, Jess will be joined by young musicians to swap tracks and share musical discoveries across a wide range of styles, revealing how music shapes their everyday lives.
This Classical Life is also available as a podcast on 大象传媒 Sounds.
