Episode m001r2cg, broadcast at Monday 30th June 2025, 7:00pm, and Friday 13th October 2023, 7:00pm.
“A serene string quartet by the Irish composer Ina Boyle forms the centrepiece of this mix, which begins and ends with orchestral blockbusters from Georges Bizet and film composer John Williams. There's a piece for harp and electronics by Graham Fitkin, plus Haydn in his sunniest mood. Producer: Roger Short”
