Movies, Operas, Cathedrals...
In Tune’s specially curated playlist, with music by Korngold, Rossini, Chopin and Wagner.
This mixtape whisks us off to the movies with Korngold's score for The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex; it has a look into an opera house with Rossini's The Thieving Magpie; and it pays a brief visit to St Paul's Cathedral with music by Stanford. There's also Chopin in night-time mood, Debussy's attempt at writing a waltz, and celebrated tenor Jonas Kaufmann singing Wagner.
