“The specially curated Classical Mixtape – 30 minutes of musical delight and discovery. Tonight’s mix steps back in time, with John William’s ‘Dartmoor 1912’ from War Horse. Before that, Britten’s ‘A Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra’, followed by a toe-tapping rendition of ‘Moonlight Serenade’ by the Glenn Miller Orchestra. There's a touch of Tallis and Handel, before ending with a bang, with Anna Clyne’s ‘Masquerade for Orchestra’. Producer: Meg Iliff-Rolfe”
