Jess Gillam swaps favourite music with pianist Paul Lewis.

Pianist Paul Lewis is one of the leading musicians of his generation and one of the greatest pianists the UK has ever seen and heard. His recordings of all the Beethoven and Schubert piano music became instant classics and he's in high demand across the world for his sensitive interpretations and incredible musicianship. He joins Jess to share some of the music he holds most dear away from the composers he best known for playing - including tracks by bassist Esperanza Spalding, a concerto by Copland and there's even room for a little prog rock from Yes too. Plus Jess brings some Korngold film music, a luscious bit of Rameau and a Walker Brothers classic.

To listen on most smart speakers just say "Ask ѿý Sounds to play Radio 3”
