Power through with classical music

Take time out with a 30-minute soundscape of classical music by Albinoni, Borodin, William Grant Still, Mozart, Sally Beamish, Finzi and JS Bach.

Take time out with a 30-minute soundscape of classical music including the scherzo from Borodin's Second String Quartet which inspired the popular song "Baubles, Bangles and Beads", a dance from William Grant Still's American Suite and Sally Beamish's Seafarers concerto for fiddle, Scottish lever harp and strings.

Along the way there's also an Albinoni concerto played on trumpet, a romance for clarinet by Finzi, Mozart's soprano aria "Exsultate, jubilate" and Bach's "Sheep May Safely Graze" on piano.

Producer: Ian Wallington
