Half an hour of the finest classical music
Take time out with a 30-minute soundscape of classical music.
Tonight's mix opens with John Barry's theme from the 1985 Oscar winning film, Out of Africa. From there, we'll hear music from the Grammy award winning Danish String Quartet, as well as music by Eriks Esenvalds, Benjamin Britten and Henry Purcell. To listen on most smart speakers just say “ask ѿý Sounds to play Classical Mixtape.”
