Thirty minutes of classical Inspiration

In Tune's specially curated playlist: an eclectic mix of music, featuring Bach, church bells and folk singer Kate Rusby.

In Tune's specially curated playlist: including glittering piano music from Ravel, a Purcell chaconne probably composed for Les 24 Violons du Roi, and a haunting folk song of unrequited love performed by Kate Rusby. Plus music from Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier, flourishes of fantasy from Tchaikovsky and Saint-Saens, and a swinging number from legendary jazz violinist Stephane Grappelli. And we go to church with a gentle Mozart motet - listen closely and you might even hear the bells...

Produced by Rachel Gill.
