The perfect classical half hour
An eclectic mix featuring classical favourites, lesser-known gems and a few surprises, including music by Zespedes, Chopin, Gade, Bartok and Gabriel Jackson.
A joyful journey through popular classics from Zespedes's toe-tapping Guaracha Ay que me abraso, performed by La Capella Reial de Catalunya and Jordi Savall, to Chopin's Waltz in A flat major, 'L'Adieu', also with Gade's Copenhangen Life waltz, Bartok's Romanian Dances, and Gabriel Jackson's Cecilia virgo for chorus.
Producer: Elizabeth Arno
