“In Tune's specially curated mixtape: featuring a ragtime-influenced piano piece by Cecilia McDowall, 17th century trumpet music by Heinrich Biber and Philip Glass's Ragas in Minor Scale from his collaboration with Ravi Shankar. From the world of opera there's Tchaikovsky's regal Polonaise from Eugene Onegin, Bizet's serene Intermezzo from Carmen and Verdi's bolero from Les Vepres siciliennes in which the heroine expects either to get married or massacred or both! Producer: Ian Wallington”
