Jess Gillam with... Gabriella TeychennΓ©

Jess Gillam and conductor Gabriella TeychennΓ© 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 TeychennΓ©. 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.
