The perfect classical half hour
Episode m000d8zm, broadcast at Wednesday 18th January 2023, 7:00pm, and Friday 17th January 2020, 7:00pm.
“From Joby Talbot's depiction of the January sun rising over the sea to Paule Maurice's portrait of the Provence region in France, today's mixtape will help you unwind after a busy week. Mussorgsky's triumphal march marking a Russian victory over the Ottoman Empire gets things off to a strident start and Pachelbel's canon and gigue sounds as fresh as ever. Monteverdi's Laudate peuri Dominum is followed by Frank Bridge's Berceuse for orchestra and Chopin's Grande Valse Brillante will get you swaying and in the weekend mood! Producer: Ian Wallington”
