Take 30 minutes out with a relaxing classical mix

Take time out with a 30-minute soundscape of classical favourites including Mozart's The Magic Flute, Clara Schumann's Piano Concerto and the waltz from the film Amélie.

Half an hour of back-to-back classical music, opening with Salieri's opera 'Cesare in Farmacusa', and ending with Offenbach's 'Les FĂ©es du Rhin'. In between, there's Tchaikovsky's 'Sleeping Beauty', one of Fanny Mendelssohn's piano 'Songs Without Words', a Scottish dance by late Renaissance composer William Brade, and a Marian hymn by Estonian maestro Arvo PĂ€rt.
