Your daily classical soundtrack

We fly into space with Alison Balsom, go to church with Rachmaninov and consider someone special with Benjamin Britten. But first, Woody Guthrie wishes us a Happy Hanukkah.

Alison Balsom flies into space, and Richard Rodney Bennett goes up in his balloon in today's Mixtape flight of fancy; there are also two very different flavours of Russia as we go to church with Rachmaninov and to a dance with the high-spirited Osipov Russian State Folk Orchestra, plus Benjamin Britten invites us to consider someone very special. But before all that, Woody Guthrie would like to wish us a Happy Hanukkah.
