“Energise yourself with a blast of feel-good music - starting with Elmer Bernstein's theme for The Magnificent Seven, which segues into more meditative pieces by Rachmaninov, Bach and Caroline Shaw. Björk fans may recognise Icelandic composer Jórunn Viðar's song, Vökuró (covered in Björk's 2004 album, Medúlla). There's piano excitement with a movement from Shostakovich's Second Piano Concerto, and the mix ends with the instrumental and vocal fireworks of Baroque ensemble L'Arpeggiata, featuring singers Núria Rial and Philippe Jaroussky. Produced by Christina Kenny for BBC Audio.”
