Expand your horizons with classical music

An eclectic mix featuring classical favourites, lesser-known gems and a few surprises, from Prokofiev for Big Band and a nocturnal trip through the dark side of Paris.

An eclectic mix featuring classical favourites, lesser-known gems and a few surprises. Tonight's mix begins with the question: who's afraid of the Big Band Wolf? Not Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, apparently, nor mezzo-soprano Stephanie d'Oustrac, who takes us on a nocturnal trip through the dark side of Paris. Plus there's piano music by Scriabin, Finzi arranged for strings, and passionate Mendelssohn.

Producer: David Fay.
