Your 30-minute mix of classical music

In Tune's specially curated playlist: an eclectic mix of music, featuring favourites from Frank Bridge and Poulenc, and lesser-known gems from Matteis, Amy Beach and Harold Arlen.

In Tune's specially curated playlist: an eclectic mix of music, featuring Frank Bridge's breathtaking musical description of The Sea, Poulenc's cheeky concerto for harpsichord, and a toe-tapping Scotch humour from Nicola Matteis. Charles Wood welcomes the gladdening light, and the soprano Sylvia McNair teams up with the inimitable Andr茅 Previn on piano in a beautiful rendition of one of Harold Arlen's lesser known songs.

Producer: Helen Garrison
