Half an hour of the finest classical music

Take time out with a 30-minute soundscape of favourites by Carl Orff, Bach, Stravinsky, Liszt, Lehar, Marguerite Monnot and Barber.

Take time out with a 30-minute soundscape of classical favourites - Carl Orff's O fortuna - the dramatic choral opening of Carmina Burana, two minuets from Bach's first cello suite, the elegant overture from Stravinsky's ballet Pulcinella and Liszt's virtuosic La Campanella for piano. Also in the mix is a potpourri of whirling waltzes from Franz Lehar's operetta The Merry Widow, Marguerite Monnot's Hymn to Love and Samuel Barber's heart-wrenching Adagio for Strings

Producer: Ian Wallington.
