Classical music to inspire you
Episode m001j4p3, broadcast at Thursday 23rd February 2023, 7:00pm.
“Relax with a 30 minute, uninterrupted sequence of classical music, jazz and a waltzing film score from Toru Takemitsu. Bathe in shimmering strings from a Richard Strauss song, tap your toes to Oscar Peterson's take on Gershwin and Bizet's lively Symphony in C, and feel the soothing calm of a saxophone weaving around Renaissance choral music by Orlando Gibbons. There is also music by Grace Williams, Fauré, Bach and Haydn. Producer: Helen Garrison”
