Half an hour of the finest classical music

Immerse yourself in 30 minutes of nature-inspired classical music from around the world.

The Classical Mixtape offers a 30 minute eclectic mix of spiritually enticing music, journeying through the colourful landscape of Ravel’s La Vallee des Cloches, playful rhythms from Debussy's piano music, and ethereal Spanish meadows painted by Barrios. Piazzolla’s Libertango whisks you to a Soirée in Buenos Aires, reaching ethereal heights with Holst’s Choral Hymns from the Rig Veda. Music also includes works by John Williams and Grieg.
