Classical music to inspire you
An eclectic half-hour mix including chamber works by Schubert, Dvořák and Debussy, plus Swedish folk music and an appearance from Nina Simone.
Half and hour of back to back classical music to help wind down at the end of a busy day. Tonight's mixtape features works by Schubert, Dvořák and Debussy writing for different combinations of instruments, plus Swedish folk music sung by Trio Mediæval and an appearance from the great Nina Simone. We'll also dip into an early Mozart Symphony and one of Joaquín Rodrigo's most popular works for guitar and orchestra.
