Thirty minutes of classical inspiration

In Tune's classical music mixtape includes music by Handel, Puccini and Dobrinka Tabakova.

Tonight's mixtape introduces us to Esther the queen, Gretchen the spinner, Mimi the seamstress and Rosie the riveter (courtesy of Handel, Schubert, Puccini and The Four Vagabonds). Plus something from the hard-working harpsichordist Anna Magdalena and composers Louise Farrenc and Dobrinka Tabakova.

Produced by Roger Short.
