The eclectic classical mix
The Classical Music Mixtape: featuring the soaring voice of Jessye Norman, music from eccentric composer Moondog, and a piece inspired by an ancient Scandinavian herding call.
Half an hour of back-to-back classical music: an imaginative and eclectic mix, including the soaring voice of Jessye Norman, a chaconne from 'the Viking of 6th Avenue', classic keyboard works from Beethoven and Bach, and a choral work inspired by ‘kulning’, an ancient Scandinavian herding call.
