An uplifting classical mix
Episode m002m2cr, broadcast at Wednesday 19th November 2025, 7:00pm.
“Half an hour of back to back classical music to help you wind down at the end of a busy day. Today's mix includes a charming piano concerto by Mozart, an achingly beautiful song about grief by William Grant Still, and an attractive "Romanze" for harp, cello and strings by Leo Weiner. Percy Grainger goes rogue with some Bach, and there's one of Sir Karl Jenkins' most popular and moving choral works - the Agnus Dei from his Mass for Peace, "The Armed Man". The sequence ends with a little known but delightful trio by the French, early 20th century composer Charlotte Sohy. Producer: Helen Garrison”
