Power through with classical music

In Tune's classical music mixtape: an imaginative, eclectic mix featuring classical favourites by Brahms and Sullivan, and lesser-known gems from John Barry and Ola Gjeilo.

A touch of spring starts off today's In Tune Mixtape, then a sequence of intriguing harmonies from Frank Bridge, Oscar Peterson, James Bond film composer John Barry, and choral music from Norwegian composer Ola Gjeilo. The mix also features Brahms and Albinoni, ending with Gilbert and Sullivan in sunny, sparkling mood.

Producer: Helen Garrison
