The eclectic classical mix

An eclectic mix featuring music by Felix Mendelssohn, John Williams and Sault.

Today's mixtape includes a vibrant quartet by Felix Mendelssohn, a jazzy flourish from John Williams adapted from his score for the film Catch Me If You Can, and a track from the mysterious soul collective Sault, whose new album Air sees them embrace a luscious classical sound of soaring strings and emotive choirs.
