Half an hour of the finest classical music

Take time out with a 30-minute soundscape of classical music, including pieces by Satie, Holst, and Julie Cooper

Take time out with a 30-minute soundscape of classical music. We start this mixtape 'At the Castle Gate' with Sibelius, and waltz through with Erik Satie. Biber expresses the anguish of the Crucifixion in his 'Rosary Sonata No 10', Tarik O'Regan gives thanks in 'Gratias Tibi', and Julie Cooper is 'Dancing on Air'. Milhaud pays homage to Jean-Baptiste Lully, Holst writes for wind instruments, and Steven Osborne plays classic Beethoven.

Produced by Rachel Gill.
