This Classical Life - Jess Gillam with... Isobel Waller-Bridge

Download Jess Gillam with... Isobel Waller-Bridge

Jess's guest this week is composer Isobel Waller-Bridge. Best known for her work in TV and film, Isobel has scored The Split, Fleabag, Emma, Vita & Virginia and many more, but she's also a prolific composer for the theatre and is known for her evocative contemporary classical and electronic music for the concert hall.

Jess and Isobel sit down for a listening party of the music they love the most - Isobel offers some stunning moments of calm by Hinako Omori and a tuba jam by Sons of Kemet, while Jess interrupts the peace with an intimate song by Noah Yorke and possibly the funkiest string quartet ever written by Ravel.

Playlist:

HINAKO OMORI: Yearning
RAVEL: String Quartet - 2nd mvt 'Assez vif' [Quator Ebène]
SCHOOL OF SEVEN BELLS: Open Your Eyes
CHOPIN: Nocturne no.8 in D flat major, op.27 no.2 [Maurizio Pollini (piano)]
NOAH YORKE: Trying too Hard (Lullaby)
SONS OF KEMET: To Never Forget the Source
