“The specially curated Classical Mixtape – 30 minutes of musical delight and discovery. Tonight’s mix travels from the haunting melodies of Gesualdo Six, with Gerda Blok-Wilson’s ‘O Little Rose, O Dark Rose’ – to Britten’s dainty yet fun ‘Playful Pizzicato’. On the way, a visit to Bizet’s ‘Carmen’, a blast of Jess Gillam’s saxophone playing Darius Milhaud’s ‘Scaramouche’, to finally a trip to movieland, with John Williams’s ‘E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial’. Producer: Meg Iliff-Rolfe”
