Essential Classics for your daily walk

An hour of cheerful classical music to take with you on a walk, whether you are strolling in the park, walking to the station, or striding out in the countryside.

Put on your walking shoes and take a stroll in the company of an hour of great classical music. Your walking group includes Handel's Queen of Sheba, Mendelssohn's woodland fairies, and Vaughan Williams with his collection of folk songs. Plus you might need Florence Price's silk hat and walking cane as you step out with George Gershwin and his sophisticated hound! MM.
