Your daily classical soundtrack

In Tune's Classical Music Mixtape: an imaginative, eclectic mix featuring classical favourites, lesser-known gems and a few surprises thrown in for good measure.

Tonight, on the In Tune Mixtape we hear how long an air can last on a g string, we visit America, pass a reflective moment in the company of Beethoven, before heading to the steamy world of tango. After meditating on a medieval view of how life passes be, we awaken in a bustling market place, conjured from the pen of Shostakovich.
