Jools and Tracey Emin talk music

Jools is joined by the artist Tracey Emin, with music by Ravel, Morricone and Beethoven.

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.

Today, Jools's choices include music by Beethoven, Gounod and Ravel, with performances by Steven Isserlis and the Nash Ensemble. His guest is the artist Tracey Emin who talks about her relationship to classical music which began with a chance encounter with Bach's Brandenburg Concertos. She also chats to Jools about why classical music belongs to everyone and what it meant to put together her new Tate Modern exhibition "A Second Life", which looks at her life and work before and after her cancer diagnosis. She introduces music she loves by Gabriel Faure, Ennio Morricone and Brian Eno.
