Jess Gillam with... Max Ruisi
Jess's guest this week is the cellist Max Ruisi, artistic director of the 12 Ensemble, a "revolutionary string orchestra". They meet in the TCL studio for a listening party including a beautiful lament by Monteverdi, a bird-themed string quartet by Haydn, mesmerising music for solo oboe by Britten, and tracks from Cosmo Sheldrake and Herbie Hancock.
