Power through with classical music

30 minutes of classical favourites including music by Khachaturian, Bach, Nigel Hess and Rebecca Dale.

Half an hour of back to back classical music to help wind down at the end of a busy day. Today's mix starts with a whirling mazurka from Aram Khachaturian, and includes a cheeky fanfare from Ravel, Ian Bostridge singing Schubert, a passionate string quartet by Smetana, and an luminous setting of Salve Regina by Rebecca Dale.

Producer: Helen Garrison
