Jools meets Samson Tsoy and Pavel Kolesnikov

Jools is joined by pianists Samson Tsoy and Pavel Kolesnikov.

Jools shares his lifelong passion for classical music and the beautiful connections with jazz and blues. With fascinating guests each week, who bring their own favourite music and occasionally perform live in Jools's studio.

Today, Jools's choices include music by Franz Schubert, Grazyna Bacewicz and Edmund Finnis, with performances by Lowell Fulson and Kathleen Ferrier. His guests are the pianists Samson Tsoy and Pavel Kolesnikov, who play Bach on the studio piano and introduce music they love by Friedman, Shostakovich, Purcell and Mozart.
