The perfect classical half hour

Glide across the Steppe in a sleigh, waltz with Strauss and Chopin, and tango with Stravinsky.

Glide across the Steppe in a sleigh, waltz with Strauss and Chopin, tango with Stravinsky, eat sweets with Jacques Brel - even if it costs you the girl - and don't worry about the time, Lully has that covered at the Court of the Sun, and Biber's Nightwatchman won't let you be late. It’s the In Tune Mixtape.
