Classical music for focus or relaxation
Relax into a classical soundscape of uplifting music by composers from the Baroque to the present day.
Half an hour of back-to-back uplifting classical music by composers from the Baroque to the present day. This mix opens with Gustav Holst's majestic Jupiter from The Planets before moving on to familiar favourites by Bach and Faur茅. We discover the beautiful folk-inspired choral music of Veljo Tormis, gospel arranged by the legendary Moses Hogan and music for string quartet by American composer Caroline Shaw. The mix closes with moving music from the world of video games and TV, with tracks from Jessica Curry's Everybody's Gone To The Rapture and Geoffrey Burgon's classic score for Brideshead Revisited.
Producer: Christina Kenny
