Half an hour of the finest classical music

Take time out with a 30-minute soundscape of classical favourites including works by Granville Bantock, Gustav Holst and Dora Pejacevic.

This evening's mixtape is inspired by song. We start with a piano arrangement of Granville Bantock's Song to the Seals. This is followed by Laurie's song from Aaron Copland's opera, The Tender land. Other highlights include a lullaby by Brahms, A shepherd's song arranged for String Quartet and part of Holst's Choral hymns from the Rig Veda.

Producer: Kevin Satizabal Carrascal
