30 minutes of classical inspiration

Half an hour of uninterrupted music, with pieces by Guillaume de Machaut, Elizabeth Jacquet de la Guerre, Haydn and Bill Evans.

The Pokos family band from Slovakia start off tonight's Mixtape, which then journeys through fourteenth and seventeenth-century France with Machaut and Elizabeth Jacquet de la Guerre,, eighteenth and nineteenth-century Vienna with Haydn and Johann Strauss II, with a diversion to twentieth-century American with Bill Evans, ending where we began, in rural Slovakia.
