“In Tune’s specially curated mixtape; 30 minutes of musical delight and discovery. Tonight’s mix takes to the rails, with Duke Ellington’s ‘Take the 'A' Train’, before turning a little spooky, with Saint-Saen’s ‘Danse Macabre’. On the way, the first movement of Edvard Grieg’s ‘Holberg Suite’, cello from Elgar and a trip to see the animals, with Movieland’s ‘Chicken Run’ and J.S. Bach’s ‘Sheep May Safely Graze’.”
