“A wide and eclectic mix of uninterrupted music for half an hour of relaxation, including upbeat, jaunty Baroque music from Handel and virtuoso violin playing from Vilde Frang performing Prokofiev. Whirling waltzes from Ravel and Tchaikovsky sit alongside a yearning, Renaissance choral lament from Robert Ramsey, Gabriela Montero's very personal take on Bach, and a lyrical rendition of a jazz standard sung by Amy Winehouse. Producer: Helen Garrison”
