Power through with classical music

Take time out with a 30-minute soundscape of classical favourites, including Vivaldi's famous Summer, Verdi's opera La traviata and one of Satie's peaceful Gnossiennes.

Clocks tick through tonight's Classical Mixtape, with Leroy Anderson's 'Syncopated Clock', along with Philip Glass's soundtrack for the 2003 film "The Hours", and Haydn's Clock symphony. 'Some Day My Prince Will Come' from Disney's 'Snow White' and Elizabeth Poston's 'Jesus Christ the Apple Tree' bring some winter sparkle, and the sequence ends with a festive drinking song from Verdi's opera 'La Traviata'.
