Take 30 minutes out with a relaxing classical mix

An uninterrupted sequence of music, including works from 13th-century Italy, an Arab-Andalusian song, plus pieces by Haydn, Beethoven and Clara Schumann.

Did you know Beethoven wrote lovely tunes for mandolin? We hear one of these in tonight's Mixtape, plus some breathtaking music for balalaika, a Brahms Hungarian Dance (paired up of course with a piece from his beloved Clara Schumann), plus folk song settings from Haydn and Sinead O'Connor.
