Your daily classical soundtrack
Take time out with a 30-minute soundscape of classical favourites by French composers across the centuries - Charpentier, Dubussy, Lili Boulanger, Ravel, Massenet, Poulenc & Bizet.
Take time out with a 30-minute soundscape of classical favourites by French composers across the centuries - Charpentier's majestic Prelude to Te Deum, a strutting cakewalk by Debussy, Lili Boulanger's strident setting of Psalm 24 - "The earth is the Lord's and the fulness thereof" and Ravel's evocation of a pavane that a little princess might have danced at the Spanish court in years gone by. These are followed by the "M茅ditation" from Massenet's opera Tha茂s arranged for flute and harp, the slow movement from Poulenc's rustic Concert champ锚tre and the sublime duet from Bizet's The Pearl Fishers. A French affair to cherish!
