Jess Gillam with... Anna Lapwood

In this special episode Jess invites the organist and conductor Anna Lapwood to share their favourite music for New Year, from Ella Fitzgerald to Saint-Saens.

Jess brings out the fizz and party poppers for a New Year's Eve listening party with the organist and conductor Anna Lapwood, as they introduce each other to their favourite music for this time of year. Their choices take them through the night, from classic Ella Fitzgerald, to pumping base from Vivaldi and Bonobo, reflective choral music by Silvestrov, mysterious organ sounds for the early hours from Saint-Saens, and a New Year message from Otis Redding.
