Half an hour of the finest classical music

Take time out with a 30-minute soundscape of classical favourites featuring music by Prokofiev, Elena Kats-Chernin, Albinoni, Schumann, Cole Porter, Couperin and Strauss II.

From pulsating, Kletzmer inspired string music by Elena Kats-Chernin, via Albinoni's serene oboe concerto, Cole Porter's impassioned So In Love and Strauss' lilting waltz Voices of Spring, today's Classical Mixtape expresses a range of emotions and feelings. Along the way there's also music by Prokofiev, Schumann and Couperin.

Producer: Ian Wallington
