30 minutes of classical inspiration

Take time out with a 30-minute soundscape of classical music.

Tonight's Classical Mixtape opens with music for wind by Zemlinsky, followed by solo JS Bach and orchestral Dvorak. Accordionist and Radio 3 New Generation Artist Ryan Corbett plays his arrangement of Verdi's Prelude to La Traviata, leading into a Song Without Words by Mendelssohn, and Mozart's Adagio for violin and orchestra played by Baibe Skride. The sequence ends with a Peruvian dance, a Cachua, and music from Prokofiev's score to Cinderella.

Producer: Rebecca Bean
