“From Handel's Queen of Sheba arriving in regal splendour, to Mozart's sprightly Serenade Eine Kleine Nachtmusik (A little night music), the Classical Mixtape offers an uninterrupted sequence of familiar favourites and lesser known gems. Today's mix includes Gorecki's searing Symphony of Sorrowful Songs, and the famous Beethoven piano miniature which we've probably all attempted to play at some time in our lives - Für Elise. Producer: Helen Garrison”
