“Fake Tunes on tonight's MixTape. Imposters and impersonations abound. Home Sweet Home just happens to be in Switzerland for Liszt's rival, and a member of Handel's orchestra decides to write his own oratorio, and could that be Elgar in his most establishment Victorian pomp? Don't worry the rest is real - from Tallis, Purcell and Vaughan Williams to Mendelssohn and Grieg.”
