Expand your horizons with classical music
Episode m001nw8m, broadcast at Monday 24th July 2023, 7:00pm.
“Opening with a symphony by Haydn full of graceful pomp, the Classical Mixtape explores the intimacy of musical prayer, with Francesca Caccini and Nadia Boulanger, as well as the infinity of the universe with music by John Williams. Star composer Antonio Vivaldi joins forgotten Portuguese musician António Pereira da Costa in a Baroque feast, while Bonds and Scarlatti are reimagined for the piano and the guitar respectively. Finishing with a timeless earworm: Beethoven and his bagatelle to Elise... Producer: Julien Rosa”
