“In Tune's specially curated playlist: an eclectic mix of music, featuring favourites, lesser-known gems, and a few surprises. The perfect way to usher in your evening. Music for reflection and to lift the spirits. What better way to do that than with the rousing overture to Ruslan and Lyudmila! Take Duke Ellington's A Train and race along to Schumann's sparkling Piano Quintet. Take a minute to reflect along the way to Peter Sculthorpe's haunting "Djilile", and Kenneth Leighton's majestic organ masterpiece "Paean", then tap your feet to Handel's setting of "Dixit Dominus" performed with tremendous energy by the Taverner Choir and Players. Producer: Helen Garrison.”
