Expand your horizons with classical music

Take time out with a 30-minute soundscape of classical favourites mixed with jazz, folk and music from around the world, including works by Wagner, Reich and Bach.

Step up your pace with Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries, the pulsing Music for 18 musicians by Steve Reich and Bach's joyous Brandenburg Concerto No 3. Then hit your peak with Roby Lakatos' cracking version of the Sabre Dance by Khachaturian, before warming down to Mozart's overture to Il Re Pastore and Dave Brubeck's jazz standard Take Five, finishing with the calming Ellis Island by Meredith Monk.
