The eclectic classical mix

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

Baroque music from Germany opens today's Classical Mixtape, by Johann David Heinechen, as we then hear from two Russian composers, Alexander Glazunov and Elisaveta Kashperova. The second half of the mixtape opens with a Song of Farewell by Hubert Parry, followed by a Chopin Nocturne, before ending with a 'Villanesca' by Spanish composer Enrique Granados. Produced by Michael Rossi.
