Take time out with a 30-minute soundscape of classical music from your favourite composers. Schoenberg begins tonight's mixtape with a gentle Notturno for violin, strings and harp, followed by Schubert's sublime Kyrie from his Mass No.5 in A flat Major. Tatiana Nikolayeva makes the piano glitter in Shostakovich's Prelude and fugue in A minor before Bruch's Concerto in A flat minor for 2 pianos and orchestra. Binge serenades us with his Elizabethan serenade for orchestra, before Bruckner's glorious gradual - Virga Jesse floruit. Finally, we end with Lili Boulanger and Telemann, both writing for wind and strings.
