A blissful 30-minute classical mix

A spin around Moscow with Shostakovich, Duke Ellington's caravan ride - and a wolf.

A spin around Moscow with Shostakovich, Duke Ellington's caravan ride, and Big Thief's wolf roams Brooklyn. There's also a hint of the gamelan in the playful scherzo of Debussy's first string quartet, not to mention in Steve Reich's Electric counterpoint arranged for marimba. Then there's an untroubled little choral prelude by Bach and the tinkling thirds of Beethoven's first virtuosic piano sonata, no. 3 in C major. And to open, a Byzantine Alleluia from the Daughter Of Ioannes Kladas.
