Jess Gillam with... Matthew Barley
Jess Gillam and cellist Matthew Barley swap the music they love. With tracks by Elza Soares, Marianna Martines, Tchaikovsky, Beethoven and Paul McCartney
Jess Gillam and cellist Matthew Barley sit down to listen together to the music they love.
Matthew's career as a cellist has seen him straddle any number of different genres and continents. He's just as at home in front of an orchestra as he is improvising in a nightclub, playing chamber music with his wife β the violinist Viktoria Mullova - or going solo and combining his cello with electronics.
Their playlist today is suitably eclectic - Matthew brings a taste of Brazil from the singer Elza Soares and legendary songwriter Jobim, a lament on the duduk and reminisces his first childhood experience of classical music via the music of Beethoven. Jess has Tchaikovsky ballet music bursting with tunes, some sunshine by Marianna Martines and mandolin player Avi Avital and a beautiful piece of Junk by Paul McCartney.
