Thirty minutes of classical inspiration
Episode m001rj18, broadcast at Monday 23rd October 2023, 7:00pm.
“Back to back classical music to help you wind down for the evening, including a voyage on Korngold’s The Sea Hawk, a movement from Grieg’s characterful first string quartet, and a quiet Nocturne by Chopin. Music from Lorne Balfe’s score for the BBC Television series “His Dark Materials” should blow away any remaining cobwebs, followed by an exquisite glimpse into eternity from James MacMillan, ending with ‘Closing’ from Philip Glass’s Glassworks. Producer: Naomi Anderson”
