Jess Gillam with... Francesca Dego
Jess Gillam is joined by Italian-American violinist Francesca Dego to swap some of their favourite music. Francesca has played everywhere from Wigmore Hall to Lincoln Centre New York, and her latest recording of Brahms and Busoni violin concertos with BBC Symphony Orchestra and conductor Dalia Stasevska is out now via Chandos.\nToday Francesca has brought along music from neglected Finnish composer Helvi Leivisk\xe4 and a fiendish 12-tone work from Schoenberg, while I\u2019ve chosen David Bowie\u2019s swansong.
