The pianist and bandleader picks his favourite classical music
Jools is joined by film director Tim Pope, with music by Allegri, Milhaud and Vivaldi, plus a nod to Radio 3's Satie-Day.
Jools shares his lifelong passion for classical music and the beautiful connections with jazz and blues. With fascinating guests each week, who bring their own favourite music and occasionally perform live in Jools's studio.
Jools's choices today include music by Satie - as Radio 3's Satie-Day marks 100 years since the death of the French composer - plus Vivaldi and Clara Schumann, with performances by Chouchane Siranossian, Jelly Roll Morton and Isata Kanneh-Mason. His guest is the film director Tim Pope who introduces music he loves by Allegri, Milhaud and Stanford.
To listen on most smart speakers just say "Ask ѿý Sounds to play Earlier with Jools Holland".
