Classical music on the go

An eclectic mix featuring classical favourites, lesser-known gems and a few surprises

From a dancing Vivaldi flute concerto to Mayerl's Phil the Fluter's Ball; Shakespeare through the contrasting lenses of Shostakovich and Amy Beach; Music for a Found Harmonium, an instrument used inventively by Rossini in his gloriously sunny Petite Messe Solennelle; and from Plain Blue/s by Coleridge-Taylor Perkinson to The Colour Purple by Quincy Jones. Music to inspire, surprise and delight.

Produced by Graham Rogers
