BBC Radio 3 - This Classical Life, Jess Gillam with... Gabriella Teychenné

Jess Gillam and conductor Gabriella Teychenné share some of their favourite music.

Jess Gillam and conductor Gabriella Teychenné swap some of their favourite tracks, including music by Schumann, Lutoslawski, Sam Lee and James Blake.

Jess Gillam's guest this week is conductor Gabriella Teychenné. Her musical life bounces between conducting brand new music, collaborating with symphony orchestras and she's the founder of Sinfonia Humanitas, a new ensemble whose concert programmes fuse early and contemporary music. 

Gabriella and Jess settle in for a listening party of the music they love, including a slice of Italian sunshine from Mendelssohn, a collaboration between folk artist Sam Lee and singer Elizabeth Fraser, a Schumann romance and a classic by Nick Drake.
