“Take time out with a 30-minute soundscape of classical favourites - Bach's strident Brandenburg Concerto No.3, Wagner's wistful piano piece Album Leaf for Frau Betty Schott, widow of the publisher Franz Schott and the beguiling Flower Duet from Delibes' opera Lakmé. Also in the mix are Mozart's playful quartet for piano, oboe, clarinet and horn, Richard Rodney Bennett's sweeping Waltz from Murder on the Orient Express and Scott Joplin's Bethena Waltz for flute and piano. Producer: Ian Wallington”
