The perfect classical half hour
Episode m001qvyb, broadcast at Wednesday 4th October 2023, 7:00pm.
“Back to back classical music to help you wind down for the evening. Romantic orchestral music from Rachmaninov sits alongside sparkling piano music depicting a boat on the water from Ravel. Ethereal choral music from Eric Whitacre and Herbert Howells is woven into the mix, along with a soaring film score by Malcolm Arnold, and a song of scorched love by Fauré. Producer: Helen Garrison”
