Seasons in Detail

This Classical Life

Jess is joined by conductor Harry Christophers, who chats about his love of 1970s prog rockers Jethro Tull, why Gladiator is the greatest film ever made, the time he threw the first pitch at a Boston Red Sox game and the evergreen aching beauty of Mahler's Ninth Symphony. Jess ups the tempo with tracks by Abel Selaocoe and Beyonce and finds the one Handel opera Harry has yet to conduct.
