Your daily classical soundtrack

Take time out with a 30-minute soundscape of classical music, including works by Mozart, Jacquet de La Guerre, Monteverdi, Britten and Donizetti.

Starting with an energetic symphony by CPE Bach before a peaceful Mozart sonata, the Classical Mixtape invites you to dance a tarantella with Britten and drink a love potion with the music of Donizetti. Follows Jacquet de La Guerre's violin, Mendelssohn's clarinet and Faur茅's piano, before a divine finale of voices in Monteverdi's 'Vespers'.
