Jess Gillam hosts, with Max Richter and Tamsin Waley-Cohen

Jess Gillam with the perfect classical soundtrack for the weekend, and special guests, the composer Max Richter and violinist Tamsin Waley-Cohen.

Jess Gillam sits in this week, playing the best classical music to start your weekend.

She talks to Max Richter ahead of the release of his new album "Sleep Circle", a hallucinatory 90-minute trip into the liminal space between wakefulness and sleep in which dreams begin to take shape, marking the tenth anniversary of his landmark project SLEEP.

And Tamsin Waley-Cohen tells Jess about the world-premiere of a new violin concerto by composer Nick Martin, celebrating the sculptures of Dame Barbara Hepworth on the 50th anniversary of her death, which she's performing throughout September with Manchester Camerata.
