The eclectic classical mix

Take time out with a 30-minute soundscape of classical music, including pieces by Bach, Haydn, Ravel, and Jan谩膷ek, plus music from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

Take time out with a 30-minute soundscape of classical music.

Ken Burton writes a gospel-inspired anthem for a cappella chorus and Jan谩膷ek leads us down an overgrown path; Glenn Gould performs timeless Bach and Ravel composes a 'pavane that might have been danced by such a little princess as painted by Vel谩zquez'.
Plus, refined strings from Haydn, a lively Spanish baroque dance from Gaspar Sanz, and a haunting piece from the soundtrack to 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind'.
