Power through with classical music
An eclectic mix featuring classical favourites, lesser-known gems and a few surprises, including music by Valerie Coleman, Haydn, Paul Patterson, Delibes, Gershwin and Shostakovich.
At the start of today's In Tune Mixtape we find ourselves being entertained by a jazz band in a Parisian Cabaret courtesy of American composer Valerie Coleman before being whisked back four centuries to the courtly viol music of Maidstone born John Jenkins. A rustic minuet by Haydn leads us to Paul Patterson's depiction of a tarantula scampering across the harp strings and the Bell Song from Delibes' opera Lakme. Glenn Miller gives us his take on Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue - without piano! - and we end in Moscow for the ballet from Shostakovich's Cheryomushki suite.
Producer: Ian Wallington
