Jess Gillam with... Jacob Mühlrad

Jess Gillam and composer Jacob Mühlrad share the music they love, with music by Schubert, Sven-David Sandström, Missy Mazzoli, Mahler and John Cage.

Jess Gillam and composer Jacob Mühlrad share the music they love. Jacob introduces us to the music of Sven-David Sandström and a glistening re-mix of Josin by Kiasmos. We have some passionate tango performed by Nicola Benedetti and friends, a landscape of sound from John Cage and Missy Mizzoli tells the story of Isabelle Eberhardt. Plus some early Mahler, unfinished Schubert AND a meeting of musical magic with Chris Thile and Brad Meldhau.
