30 minutes of classical inspiration
Take time out with a 30-minute soundscape of classical favourites mixed with jazz, folk and music from around the world
Dive deep into today's Classical Mixtape which features a range of sparkly melodies; from Bach's Suite in A minor for lute, Paganini's bel canto-style Cantabile, Tárrega's Gran Vals for guitar and Henry Mancini's The Pink Panther theme. We also hear Anoushka Shankar's and Miloš Karadaglić's spicy rendition of a Beatles classic before passionately ending with Mendelssohn's Trio no.2 in C minor.
