A musical moment to press pause ft. Anoushka Shankar

Take a pause. 脫lafur Arnalds plays restful music that feels like time has stopped. Plus the musician Anoushka Shankar shares the track that brings her ultimate calm.

There are some pieces of music that can make you feel like time has paused, which force you to stop in your tracks and take you away from your everyday life. 脫lafur Arnalds plays a selection of time-related pieces that have that quality, including tracks from Hania Rani, Belle Chen and Hiroshi Yoshimura.

Plus we鈥檙e transported to the musical safe haven of the musician Anoushka Shankar. Anoushka is drawn to music that either gives her a gut punch of emotion or a deep peace. She shares a very special track that brings her ultimate calm; a piece by her father, the Indian sitarist and composer Ravi Shankar.

Produced by Kit Callin
A Reduced Listening production for 大象传媒 Radio 3 and Radio 3 Unwind.
