Sara Mohr-Pietsch's musical remedy for loneliness

A soothing playlist of handpicked recommendations for when you're feeling alone.

As part of a week of specially curated episodes of the In Tune Mixtape for Mental Health Awareness Week, Radio 3's Sara Mohr-Pietsch presents her selection of pieces for consolation when you're feeling alone. Featuring music from the homesick Ivor Gurney, the lovesick Abudallah Ibrahim, and the fragile electronics of Laurie Spiegel, floating alone in space. Plus a tender piano duet arrangement of Bach, Mahler sung by Anne Sofie von Otter, and a song from Schubert to the gentle moon.
