Classical Connections with Chilly Gonzales

Mind blown by this BBC R1 show re classical and pop music and how they intermix - we need more shows like this

An engaging & brilliant piece of radio
— @RoisinMurray

Chilly Gonzales joins the dots between the seemingly polarised worlds of classical and pop, taking us on a whirlwind journey through musical time with help from Alt J, Arcade Fire, London Grammar, Vampire Weekend, Clean Bandit and Bon Iver. Sitting at his piano, Chilly tells the story of 1000 years of musical evolution in just one hour, from medieval music to minimalism, and explains it's relevance to the hip-hop, metal, indie and dance music of today.
