Power through with classical music

Take time out with a 30-minute soundscape of classical music, including works by Albeniz, Saint-Saens, guitar music by Villa-Lobos, and mesmerising Nordic bells.

Enjoy an uninterrupted half hour of delightful classical music, including a popular favourite from Saint-Saens Carnival of the animals, a charming French opera aria, Spanish sunshine from Albeniz played by a brass band, Villa-Lobos played on the guitar, and a luminous film score by Alexandre Desplat. The sequence ends with calming Renaissance polyphony and a mesmerising work for organ and Swedish folk fiddle featuring the bells of a Nordic Cathedral.
