Jess Gillam with... Angel Blue
Jess is joined by soprano Angel Blue to swap the music they love the most, from Barry White at his smoothest to Verdi at his most passionate, plus an American classic by Barber.
Jess shares favourite music with soprano Angel Blue.
Angel is one of the world's biggest opera stars, she is in demand the world over for her gorgeous voice and charismatic performances. She's won two Grammy's and of course starred in the 2024 Last Night of the Proms here on Radio 3. She chats to Jess about her life in music, her singing hero Ren茅e Fleming and why Barry White's music is the language of love... Plus Jess and Angel share more music by Vivaldi, Sharon Jones, Bizet, Barber and more!
