The eclectic classical mix
Episode m001t2m3, broadcast at Wednesday 13th December 2023, 7:00pm.
“The final chorus of Bach's Christmas Oratorio begins tonight's mix, with more Christmas music from Engelbert Humperdinck (definitely the composer, not the singer) and Bob Chilcott (from the premiere recording of his Christmas Oratorio). There's more British contemporary music from Thomas Ades (his serene 'O Albion'), plus pieces by Mendelssohn, Schubert and Erik Satie Producer Roger Short”
