30 minutes of classical inspiration

Take time out with a neat, half-hour soundscape of classical music - with music for strings, choir, piano and a moving film theme.

Take time out with a 30-minute soundscape of classical music. This edition of the Classical Mixtape opens with the jagged and swirling strings of Schubert's final String Quartet and Saint-Sa毛ns' symphonic poem, Danse Macabre, segueing smoothly into the delightful operatic froth of Mozart's The Magic Flute. We hear a lush modern choral classic from Bob Chilcott, Thou My Love Art Fair, before Isata Kanneh-Mason performs the first of Clara Schumann's Three Romances for piano (Op 11). The mixtape concludes with Itzhak Perlman in John William's heart-wrenching violin theme from Schindler's List, and a movement from Concerto-notturno by Miko艂aj G贸recki, son of the famous Henryk.
