Switch up your listening with classical music

Energise yourself with a blast of feel-good music - starting with Elmer Bernstein's The Magnificent Seven and taking in pieces by Rachmaninov, Bach and Caroline Shaw.

Energise yourself with a blast of feel-good music - starting with Elmer Bernstein's theme for The Magnificent Seven, which segues into more meditative pieces by Rachmaninov, Bach and Caroline Shaw. Bj枚rk fans may recognise Icelandic composer J贸runn Vi冒ar's song, 痴枚办耻谤贸 (covered in Bj枚rk's 2004 album, Med煤lla). There's piano excitement with a movement from Shostakovich's Second Piano Concerto, and the mix ends with the instrumental and vocal fireworks of Baroque ensemble L'Arpeggiata, featuring singers N煤ria Rial and Philippe Jaroussky. Produced by Christina Kenny for 大象传媒 Audio.
