Classical music to inspire you
Episode m001m5bc, broadcast at Friday 2nd June 2023, 7:00pm.
“This evening’s Classical mixtape kicks off with Shostakovich’s rousing Festive Overture, followed by some meditative choral Messiaen. We then take a trip to Middle-earth to visit Hobbits in the Shire and bask in a beautiful slow tango by Piazzolla. Plus a lively Handel recorder sonata, Howard Skempton’s Clarinet Quintet, Liszt’s piano transcription of Chopin’s The Maiden’s Wish and Elgar’s Enigma Variations to finish. Produced by Kevin Satizabal Carrascal.”
