Jess's guest this week is the accordionist Ksenija Sidorova. Ksenija hails originally from Latvia and is one of classical music's greatest champions and virtuosos of the accordion. She performs all over the world with some of the greatest orchestras and musicians, and she's also passionate about commissioning new music for her instrument and works closely with composers to expand the accordion's repertoire! Jess and Ksenija talk about her life in music, how she first fell in love with the accordion and swap favourite tracks to listen to including music by Shostakovich and Vivaldi, a surprising Latvian connection with the music of Holst, music to drink coffee to by Otis Redding and Piazzolla and Kurt Weill at his most sentimental.
