Half an hour of the finest classical music

Available for 4 days

Today's mixtape opens with stately viols in music by Purcell. Hot on its heels is some sprightly harp by Britten and Ravel's Tombeau de Couperin. This is followed by a mournful aria from Tchaikovsky's Eugene Onegin. Yearning music by Nico Muhly leads into a soothing piano prelude by Leokadiya Kashperova, which in turn melts into a postlude for violin and string orchestra by Henning Kraggerud. The mixtape ends with the pastoral Berkshire Idyll by Henry Balfour Gardiner. Producer: Phoebe McFarlane
