Thirty minutes of classical inspiration

Take time out with a 30-minute soundscape of classical favourites mixed with jazz, folk and music from around the world

Take time out with a 30-minute soundscape of classical favourites mixed with jazz, folk and music from around the world. This edition of the mixtape begins the Waltz of the Flowers from Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Ballet and the Scherzo movement of Stravinsky's Divertimento. Debussy's Danse Bohemienne for piano and the Seguedille movement of Georges Bizet's Carmen suite lead into the Andantino movement of Amanda Maier-Rontgen's Sonata in B Minor for violin and piano.

The second movement of Antonio Salieri's 'Veneziana' Symphony in D Major is followed by the Larghetto of Samuel Coleridge-Taylor's Romance for Violin, before the mixtape draws to a close with the Scherzo movement of Beethoven's Symphony No. 2 in D Major.
