The eclectic classical mix

Take time out with a 30-minute soundscape of classical music by Reynaldo Hahn, Ronald Binge and Evelyn Glennie.

Take time out with a 30-minute soundscape of classical music - from the melancholic depths of Loch Katrine's Lady brought to life by former 蜜芽传媒 New Generation Artist accordionist Ryan Corbett to Joseph White's romantic adagio from his Concerto for Violin. Frida Swain mesmerises us in her clever piano sonata with rhythmic gestures redolent of Bax and Ireland. Reynaldo Hahn reminds us of his power to capture a 20th century audience in his quintet which he once remarked 'would be the one work of his oeuvre he would choose if only one could be kept'. Ronald Binge takes us on an Elizabethan serenade, and Evelyn Glennie holds us in a mesmerizing 鈥渓ittle prayer鈥� for percussion before tonight鈥檚 mixtape concludes with the first of Scriabin鈥檚 Preludes for piano in C major.
