Take 30 minutes back for yourself with an inspirational mix of classical and classical-adjacent tracks.

From the Baroque genius of JS Bach to a contemporary choral classic by Caroline Shaw, reimagined for strings. From Olafur Arnald's poignant Saman, performed on the harp, to the music by Schubert that inspired the Succession theme. You'll hear performances from vocal legends Ladysmith Black Mambazo and the Jason Max Ferdinand singers, rousing folk music, plus music by Gershwin, Handel and Debussy.
