“Tonight's In Tune Mixtape has a shamelessly feel good factor, so pour yourself a cuppa or a glass of something nice, sit back, and enjoy an uninterrupted half hour of cheering music. Included on the menu is Britten's joyous "Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra", some lush orchestral sounds from George Michael, a beautiful choral work yearning for better times by John Rutter, a comedy film score from Malcolm Arnold, and Stephen Hough's delightful arrangement of "My Favourite Things". Producer: Helen Garrison”
