Half an hour of calming classical music

“Take time out to relax for half an hour with some calming classical music. Today's mix begins with a gentle serenade by Borodin, an entrancing depiction of the evening by Mel Bonis, and a mysterious slow waltz by Debussy. The incomparable Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau treats us to an interpretation of a well-known Schubert song, and there's a reflective adagio from Weber's 2nd piano concerto. The sequence ends with one of Handel's most poignantly beautiful vocal duets, and we're taken to a higher plane by the Agnus Dei from Frank Martin's Mass for double choir. Producer: Helen Garrison”
