Take 30 minutes out with a relaxing classical mix

Take time out with a 30-minute soundscape of classical music, including pieces by Rameau, Tchaikovsky, Lili Boulanger and Kurt Weill.

Take a musical stroll in nature, with Rameau's peaceful forests, Boulanger's bright garden and the celestial sound of trees captured by young composer Camille Pepin. There is dance too with Hahn's concerto and Tchaikovsky's Mazurka, and opera heroes from Mack The Knife in Kurt Weill's 'play with music' to Queen Dido portrayed by Purcell. And Robert Schumann concludes the journey, with a colourful piano quintet.

Producer: Julien Rosa
