Your daily classical soundtrack

Take time out with a carefully curated playlist of classical music, both old and new.

Take time out with a carefully curated playlist of classical music, both old and new. There's something for everyone in this 30-minute mix, with music by Pergolesi, Vaughan Williams, Finzi, Saint-Saens and Maxwell Davies rubbing shoulders with works by contemporary composers Caroline Shaw and Hannah Kendall. There's folk courtesy of Bella Hardy and close harmony with the Puppini Sister's cover of Heathcliff by Kate Bush - and we finish with Eric Coates' rousing Dambusters March.
