Wind down with 30 minutes of uninterrupted music beginning with a taste of Spain curtesy pianist, Benjamin Grosvenor and a pathway to love sung by soprano, Veronique Gens. A song without words by Tchaikovsky leads to a gorgeous choral setting by Eleanor Daley expressing the beauty and tranquillity of a full moon. The programme ends with Vikingur 脫lafsson's interpretation of the Andante from Bach's Sonata BWV. 528, followed Faur茅's wistful Pavane.
