Classical music for your journey

Take time out with a 30-minute soundscape of classical music, including pieces by Mozart, MacMillan, and McDowall.

The chimes of a Viennese musical clock start this Classical Mixtape, which also features a Russian waltz for trumpet, a sublime setting of poetry by Robert Burns, a piece inspired by a windmill belonging to Hilaire Belloc, and music written for a 15th century instrument. Plus, favourites by Bach, Mozart and Haydn.
