Thirty minutes of classical inspiration
Take time out with a 30-minute soundscape of classical music, including choral music by James MacMillan and music from the world of film and television by Korngold and Lorne Balfe.
Back to back classical music to help you wind down for the evening, including a voyage on Korngold鈥檚 The Sea Hawk, a movement from Grieg鈥檚 characterful first string quartet, and a quiet Nocturne by Chopin. Music from Lorne Balfe鈥檚 score for the 大象传媒 Television series 鈥淗is Dark Materials鈥� should blow away any remaining cobwebs, followed by an exquisite glimpse into eternity from James MacMillan, ending with 鈥楥losing鈥� from Philip Glass鈥檚 Glassworks.
