The perfect classical half hour celebrating May
Today's In Tune Mixtape celebrates the arrival of May with music by Frederick Loewe, V铆t臎zslav Nov谩k, Schubert, John Blow, Poulenc and Chabrier.
Julie Andrews extols the virtues of The Lusty Month of May in the court of Camelot, V铆t臎zslav Nov谩k provides sensuous music for The Lovers and Emmanuel Chabrier brings the May Day celebrations to a close with a joyous Fete Polonaise. Along the way there's also a tripping scherzo for piano by Schubert, a jaunty chaconne by John Blow and a cheeky trio for oboe, bassoon and piano by Poulenc.
Producer: Ian Wallington
