The perfect classical half hour

“Tonight's mix starts with recycled Bach, one of his famous solo violin Partita movements that he exploded into a setting for full orchestra, with sparkling trumpets and thunderous drums. We pass through a piece by Dvorak with a part for harmonium, some serene Mozart, a Sigur Ros song arranged for strings, and finally returning to Bach.”
