The perfect half hour of classical music

An eclectic mix of classical music, including a poignant excerpt from Gorecki's Symphony No 3 'Sorrowful Songs'.

The Portishead singer gives a poignant live performance in an excerpt from Gorecki's Symphony No 3 "Sorrowful Songs". There's also the B flat minor Prelude from Das Wohltemperierte Klavier by JS Bach and Schubert joins the honest arcadian labour of the Shepherd's Chorus from Rosamunde. And to begin, a cherubic Flos regalis viginalis performed by Trio Mediaeval, Jefferson Airplane's Embryonic Journey and the lovely warmth of the Intermezzo Op.118 No 2 by Brahms.
