Your daily classical soundtrack

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

From Handel's Queen of Sheba arriving in regal splendour, to Mozart's sprightly Serenade Eine Kleine Nachtmusik (A little night music), the Classical Mixtape offers an uninterrupted sequence of familiar favourites and lesser known gems. Today's mix includes Gorecki's searing Symphony of Sorrowful Songs, and the famous Beethoven piano miniature which we've probably all attempted to play at some time in our lives - F眉r Elise.

Producer: Helen Garrison
