Episode m001vtrs, broadcast at Thursday 8th February 2024, 7:00pm.
“Half and hour of back to back classical music to help you wind down at the end of the day. The sequence bounces into action with music from the online game Tetris, followed by a seasonally chilly song by Vaughan Williams, a lyrical theme from Star Wars, a beautiful Bach aria and lush orchestral music from the Finnish composer Helvi Leiviska. Producer: Helen Garrison”
