Power through with classical music
Episode m001w1vq, broadcast at Monday 12th February 2024, 7:00pm.
“Take time out with a 30-minute soundscape of classical music, including a lullaby from the radical Finnish female composer Helvi Leiviskä, a beloved waltz from Tchaikovsky, and a soothing arrangement of Eric Whitacre's Lux aurumque for marimba. The mixtape opens with a capricious French dance from Telemann, and ends with the sublime beauty of Stanford's 'The Blue Bird'. Producer: Rachel Gill”
