The eclectic classical mix

Take time out with a 30-minute soundscape of classical music, including pieces by Bach, Schubert and Bob Chilcott.

The final chorus of Bach's Christmas Oratorio begins tonight's mix, with more Christmas music from Engelbert Humperdinck (definitely the composer, not the singer) and Bob Chilcott (from the premiere recording of his Christmas Oratorio). There's more British contemporary music from Thomas Ades (his serene 'O Albion'), plus pieces by Mendelssohn, Schubert and Erik Satie
