The eclectic classical mix

Take time out with a 30-minute soundscape of classical music, including pieces by Schumann, Sibelius, and Ennio Morricone.

Pianist Leif Ove Andsnes starts this mixtape with crystalline cascades from Sibelius, followed by music including Rachmaninov's solemn Ave Maria from his All-night Vigil, and a piano quintet that Robert Schumann dedicated to his wife, Clara. Plus, a re-invention of Bach's music from Elena Kats-Chernin, a poignant elegy on the death of Thomas Tallis, and a tear-jerking Love Theme from Ennio Morricone's score to Cinema Paradiso.

Produced by Rachel Gill.
