This Classical Life

Jess Gillam is joined by Pet Shop Boys' Neil Tennant, who played the cello as a child and grew up around church music and reveals how this influenced his songs. Neil shares music by Hildegard of Bingen, a cantata by Bach, Lotte Lenya singing about September and a classic Miles Davis recording, while Jess picks a classic Otis Redding cover, Shostakovich's Fifth Symphony and a gorgeous slow movement by Prokofiev.
