30 minutes of classical inspiration

Wind down at the end of a busy with half an hour of back-to-back classical music. Tonight's mix includes a yearning film score by Malcolm Arnold, a beautifully romantic slow movement from a Rachmaninov piano concerto, and Ravel's sparkling depiction of a boat on the sea.

Producer: Helen Garrison
