Half an hour of the finest classical music

Take time out with a 30-minute soundscape of classical music, with music by Bizet, Haydn and John Williams.

A serene string quartet by the Irish composer Ina Boyle forms the centrepiece of this mix, which begins and ends with orchestral blockbusters from Georges Bizet and film composer John Williams. There's a piece for harp and electronics by Graham Fitkin, plus Haydn in his sunniest mood.

Producer: Roger Short
