Take 30 minutes out with a relaxing classical mix

Take time out with a 30-minute soundscape of classical favourites including Mozart's The Magic Flute, Clara Schumann's Piano Concerto and the waltz from the film Am茅lie.

Half an hour of back-to-back classical music, opening with Salieri's opera 'Cesare in Farmacusa', and ending with Offenbach's 'Les F茅es du Rhin'. In between, there's Tchaikovsky's 'Sleeping Beauty', one of Fanny Mendelssohn's piano 'Songs Without Words', a Scottish dance by late Renaissance composer William Brade, and a Marian hymn by Estonian maestro Arvo P盲rt.
