30 minutes of classical inspiration

Take time out with a 30-minute soundscape of classical music, featuring works by John Rutter, Dora Pejačević and Maurice Ravel.

This 30-minute soundscape of classical music starts with Catrin Finch's lilting harp in a Rondeau by John Rutter, with echoes of Ravel's String Quartet. Arvo Pärt sets the final line of the earliest Marian hymn, and Bernard Herrmann evokes the blustery moors in his Wuthering Heights Suite. Plus, a classic recording of Alfred Brendel playing Schubert.

Producer: Rachel Gill
