Jess Gillam with... Pascal Rog茅

A special edition for Satie-Day, Jess Gillam is joined by French pianist and Satie specialist, Pascal Rog茅. With music by Edith Piaf, Beethoven, Strauss and Minnie Riperton.

Specially for Satie-Day, as Radio 3 marks 100 years since the death of the French composer, Jess Gillam is joined by French pianist and Satie specialist Pascal Rog茅, to share some of the music they love.

Pascal has been one of the greatest interpreters of French piano music for the last 50 years - he's in demand across the world for his performances of Debussy, Ravel and particularly Satie, a composer he's recorded every note he wrote for the piano. Pascal chats to Jess about his life in music and some of the performers and live concerts that have made the biggest impression on him - from a intimate gig by Oscar Peterson to hearing the unforgettable voice of Edith Piaf as a child, plus tracks by Glenn Gould and Elisabeth Schwarzkopf.

Meanwhile Jess finds the epic in the orchestra with music by Beethoven and Carl Nielsen and, given we're in France, brings along some 'Fleurs' courtesy of Minnie Riperton.
