Episode m0027k2m, broadcast at Monday 10th February 2025, 7:00pm.
“Take 30 minutes out with a stirring sequence of moving classical music. This mixtape opens with Björk's Overture from Selmasongs, before moving effortlessly on through piano music by Howells, violin virtuosity from Tchaikovsky and the intensity of Erbarme dich from JS Bach's St Matthew Passion. Next is Caroline Shaw's And the swallow, written in response to the Syrian refugee crisis, followed by the second movement of Florence Price's Violin Concerto No 1. The mix closes with the triumphant main theme of John Williams's Jurassic Park film score. Producer: Christina Kenny”
