Classical music to inspire you
Episode m0021pxt, broadcast at Thursday 15th August 2024, 7:00pm.
“Half an hour of back to back classical music to help wind down at the end of a busy day. Opening with a Mozart overture, today's sequence provides a delightful variety of sonorities from composers such as Jacques Ibert, Ruth Gipps, Joseph Canteloube and Thomas Tallis. All that and a Rachmaninov influenced arrangement by the pianist Stephen Hough of a popular Russian song made famous by the jazz musician Kenny Ball. Producer: Helen Garrison”
