Half an hour of the finest classical music
Episode m001hpg9, broadcast at Tuesday 7th February 2023, 7:00pm.
“The Classical Mixtape offers a 30 minute eclectic mix of spiritually enticing music, journeying through the colourful landscape of Ravel’s La Vallee des Cloches, playful rhythms from Debussy's piano music, and ethereal Spanish meadows painted by Barrios. Piazzolla’s Libertango whisks you to a Soirée in Buenos Aires, reaching ethereal heights with Holst’s Choral Hymns from the Rig Veda. Music also includes works by John Williams and Grieg. Producer: Koyel Basu”
