“Take time out with a 30-minute soundscape of music including a buoyant string sonata by Rossini, Faure's moving Pavane and Tchaikovsky's Tin Soldiers on the March in The Nutcracker ballet. Also in the mix is Scarlatti's Cat's Fugue - co-composed with his pet Pulcinella - (apparently), Eleanor Alberga’s Celebration Dance from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, sprightly oboe music by Mozart and Dame Julie Andrews extolling the virtues of The Lusty Month of May. Producer: Ian Wallington”
