The eclectic classical mix
Episode m001v1t9, broadcast at Wednesday 10th January 2024, 7:00pm.
“Pianist Leif Ove Andsnes starts this mixtape with crystalline cascades from Sibelius, followed by music including Rachmaninov's solemn Ave Maria from his All-night Vigil, and a piano quintet that Robert Schumann dedicated to his wife, Clara. Plus, a re-invention of Bach's music from Elena Kats-Chernin, a poignant elegy on the death of Thomas Tallis, and a tear-jerking Love Theme from Ennio Morricone's score to Cinema Paradiso. Produced by Rachel Gill.”
