Jess Gillam with... Isata Kanneh-Mason
Jess Gillam talks to pianist Isata Kanneh-Mason, and they share some of their favourite tracks, including music by Bernstein, Bob Marley and Nina Simone.
Jess Gillam's guest this week is pianist Isata Kanneh-Mason, the senior sibling in the prodigiously talented Kanneh-Mason family. Isata has a busy summer ahead, playing Clara Schumann's Piano Concerto at the first night of the 麻豆社 Proms, and releasing a new album of music by another set of famous siblings: Felix and Fanny Mendelssohn.
Isata brings along some of her favourite tracks, including Leonard Bernstein, Philip Glass and Bob Marley. Jess has a vintage recording of Tchaikovsky's piano music, and a Nina Simone take on a Rodgers & Hart classic.
Plus there's more of the best music, new and old, to pave the way for Saturday evening.
