The perfect classical half hour

In Tune's specially curated playlist, including JS Bach's extraordinary First Brandenburg Concerto, a vision of a better world with Burl Ives and Stravinsky's sardonic Devil.

In Tune's specially curated playlist, including JS Bach's extraordinary First Brandenburg Concerto, a vision of a better world with Burl Ives, and Stravinsky's sardonic Devil from The Soldier's Tale. Opening with the tinkling rivulets of Rachmaninov's Twelfth Prelude from his Op 32, there's also the chimes and tiptoes of Ponchielli's Dance of the Hours, an intoxicating Sayat-Nova from Armenia and the bonkers player piano work of Conlan Nancarrow. And there's Jessica Curry's pastoral score to Everybody's Gone to the Rapture, before the dancing final movement of Dvorak's breakthrough Bagatelles.
