Classical music to inspire you
Take time out with a 30-minute soundscape of classical favourites, including pieces by Vivaldi, Tchaikovsky, Glass and Price.
Tonight, your Classical Mixtape is full of characters: Truman sleeps in Philip Glass' score from The Truman Show, Molly Malone wheels her wheel-barrow through the voice of Bryn Terfel in his version of the popular Irish song, and the nymph Sylvia seems to tiptoe on a Delibes polka composed for the eponymous ballet. Plus, some orchestral music by Vivaldi and Tchaikovsky, songs (with or without words) by Britten and Mendelsohn, and piano pieces - either dancing or melancholic - by Florence Price and Max Richter.
