Power through with classical music
Take time out with a 30-minute soundscape of classical favourites mixed with jazz, folk and music from around the world.
Tonight's mix opens with a nocturne by the pioneer of the genre, Irish composer John Field, and ends with the master of the piano nocturne, Fryderyk Chopin. There's also a nocturne by Moroccan pianist Nabil Benabdeljalil, and we take in a Beethoven quartet, traditional singing from Italy, and a miniature by Isobel Waller-Bridge. Satchmo makes an appearance too.
