Switch up your listening with classical music
Take time out with a 30-minute soundscape of classical music by your favourite composers such as Ginastera, Tchaikovsky, and Borodin.
Take 30 minutes to immerse yourself in a rich soundscape of classical music. Tonight's mixtape opens with Ginastera鈥檚 first movement from his Suite de Danzas Criollas, infused with the energy of Argentina鈥檚 Creole musical heritage. Next, Lauridsen鈥檚 ethereal Lux Aeterna enchants with its shimmering choral textures, followed by Borodin鈥檚 heartfelt second String Quartet鈥攁 musical love letter to his wife. Florence Price then transports us to America with her evocative and lesser-known first Violin Concerto. Tchaikovsky sweeps us away with the dramatic Panorama scene from his Sleeping Beauty Suite. Tonight's mixtape concludes with the finale of Rosalind Ellicott's Piano Trio in G minor - an often times overlooked example of late-Romantic chamber elegance.
