The eclectic classical mix

Take time out with a 30-minute soundscape of classical music from favourites like Debussy, Brahms and Bruckner.

Take time out with a 30-minute soundscape of classical music with the serene piano music of a Rachmaninoff prelude, the beautiful voices of the Monteverdi Choir singing Brahms, spritely concertos from Mozart and Joseph Bologne, and the innocence of children's corner by Debussy.
