The specially curated Classical Mixtape – 30 minutes of musical delight and discovery. Tonight’s mix looks at a contrast in seasons, from Gershwin’s ‘Summertime’, to Geoff Lawson’s arrangement of ‘For Now I am Winter’. There’s a touch of magic in the air with Paul Dukas’s ‘The Sorcerer’s Apprentice’ before a blast from the organ in Camille Saint-Saens’s Symphony No. 3 in C Minor ‘Finale’.
Producer: Meg Iliff-Rolfe
