Take time out with a 30-minute soundscape of classical music.
We start this evening's Mixtape with the lively ballet from Debussy's Petite Suite, followed by Aaron Copland's Hoe-Down arranged for string quartet from his Rodeo ballet.
Plus a host of musical delights, including a piano impromptu by Alice Mary Smith and an ear-worm by Ponchielli. We round off the mixtape with Franz Schreker's Intermezzo for Strings.
