Switch up your listening with classical music

An eclectic mix featuring classical favourites, lesser-known gems and a few surprises

Today's mixtape begins with the Farandole movement from Bizet's second L'Arlesienne suite, bounding into The King's Singers' rendition of Lamorna. The first movement of the third suite of Respighi's Ancient Airs and Dances for Lute precedes Sibelius's piece for piano, The Spruce. The first movement of Rodrigo's Concierto de Aranjuez and Patrick Hadley's Kinder Scout - sketch for orchestra lead towards a finale of Handel's Trio Sonata in B Minor and Johann Strauss II's Annen Polka.

Producer: James Rushworth
