Classical music to inspire you
An eclectic mix featuring classical favourites, lesser-known gems and a few surprises with music by Gluck, Rossini, Yoko Shimomura, Mozart, Gershwin, Orff and Dora Pejačević.
Today's In Tune Mixtape features rarely heard piano music by Rossini, Yoko Shimomura's music for Merregnon: Land of Silence - a ”Peter and the Wolf” for the Playstation generation and the scherzo from Dora Pejačević's Symphony in F sharp minor. Also in the mix is the Dance of the Furies from Gluck's Orfeo ed Euridice, a minuet for wind octet by Mozart, a Gershwin standard played by trumpeter Alison Balsom and some soothing choral music by Carl Orff.
Producer: Ian Wallington
