Jess Gillam with... Anastasia Kobekina

Jess swaps favourite music with cellist Anastasia Kobekina, including music by Boulanger, Elgar and Thom Yorke, a perfect Bjork cover and Tchaikovsky from Anastasia's childhood.

Jess's guest this week is the cellist Anastasia Kobekina

Anastasia is known for her musicality, infectious personality and musical imagination. She says her ultimate goal is getting beyond cello technique, beyond the wood, and instead attempting to reach for that feeling when she sings in her most expressive and personal moments. She started playing cello at the age of 4 and has been a prize-winner at the Tchaikovsky Competition and the Enescu Competition and was a Radio 3 New Generation Artist.

Jess and Anastasia talk about her life in music, why she wants her cello to be more than just an instrument and swap favourite tracks to listen to including music by Lili Boulanger, Elgar's cello masterpiece and a film score by Thom Yorke, a perfect Bjork cover and Tchaikovsky from Anastasia's childhood
