Jess Gillam with... Cecilia Bignall

Jess and Cecilia swap some of their favourite music, including the epic Dies Irae from Verdi's Requiem, fight scenes from Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet, folk tunes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze, and tracks by Mica Levi and Nino Rota.

This Classical Life is also available as a podcast on BBC Sounds.
