Episode m0021k2p, broadcast at Thursday 8th August 2024, 7:00pm.
“Half an hour of back to back classical music to help wind down at the end of a busy day. Today's mix starts with a whirling mazurka from Aram Khachaturian, and includes a cheeky fanfare from Ravel, Ian Bostridge singing Schubert, a passionate string quartet by Smetana, and an luminous setting of Salve Regina by Rebecca Dale. Producer: Helen Garrison”
