Classical music for your journey
Episode m001pg5y, broadcast at Wednesday 16th August 2023, 7:00pm.
“Raise a glass for the opening of your Classical Mixtape tonight with the famous brindisi from Verdi's La Traviata. Follows the romanticism of Swan Lake and the playfulness of Boccherini's string quintet. Playful too is Mozart's Rondo, while John Rutter's choir is dancing. Then have some tea (for two) with Shostakovich and a piece of cake with Philip Glass. And from a film to another, classical music is beautifully cinematographic in Mahler's melancholic Adagietto, before concluding with Lili Boulanger's Cortège. Producer: Julien Rosa”
