Classical, blues and jazz for the weekend

Jools is joined by Croatian director and actor Krešimir Dolenčić.

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 Michael Nyman, Ester Magi and JS Bach, with performances by Yehudi Menuhin and Li'l Millet. His guest is the Croatian director and actor Krešimir Dolenčić, who introduces music he loves by Purcell, Arsen Dedić and Jakov Gotovac.

To listen on most smart speakers, just say 'ask BBC Sounds to play Earlier with Jools Holland'.
