Expand your horizons with classical music

Take time out with a 30-minute soundscape of classical music, including works by Bach, Tsfasman, Spain-Dunk, Schubert, Wiseman and Chopin.

Two arrangements start tonight's Mixtape – J.S. Bach's 'Fuge a la gigue' in G Major, arranged for orchestra, followed by Alexander Tsfasman's Jazz Suite arranged for two pianos. Plus an overture for flute and strings by Susan Spain-Dunk, an octet by Schubert and Debbie Wiseman's music for the film 'Wild'. We finish with an Impromptu by Chopin.
Producer: Kevin Satizabal Carrascal
