The perfect classical half-hour

Take time out with a 30-minute soundscape of classical favourites mixed with jazz, folk and music from around the world.

Radio 3's eclectic mix of classical music, with a hint of jazz, folk and musics from around the world. Tonight the exquisite intimacy of the Martin Hayes Quartet rubs up against the expansive genius of Beethoven's 7th Symphony; John Ireland immerses himself in the Sussex landscape; and a young Rachmaninov dreams of Mendelssohn.

Produced by David Fay.
