“A grand waltz by Glazunov opens the half hour sequence of classical music, whisking you to the stars with Eriks Esenvalds' celestial choir and Tibetan bowls, and there's clog dancing with "La Fille mal gardée". Piano music by Rachmaninov, a song by Beethoven and works by Pauline Hall and John Williams complete the mix. Producer: Helen Garrison”
