Classical music to inspire you

Take time out with a 30-minute soundscape of classical music from your favourite composers such as Bach, Rachmaninov, and Ravel.

Take time out with a 30-minute soundscape of classical music, including a glorious violin concerto by Bach, the Sanctus from Ethel Smyth's Mass in D, Rachmaninov's prelude for piano in D minor and Hawes' serene first movement from his Highgrove Suite for harp and orchestra. Ravel's witty Quartet in F major starts the second half of the mixtape, followed by the brightness of Shostakovich's Prelude in A major.
