The eclectic classical mix

Take time out with a 30-minute soundscape of classical favourites, including music by Bernstein, Dvorak, Boccherini, Puccini, Villa-Lobos, Joanna Marsh and Jerry Bock.

Today's mixtape includes works by three masters of music for the stage - the Turkey Trot form Leonard Bernstein's Divertimento, Vissi d'arte form Puccini's Tosca and Jerry Bock's cadenza and variations for violin and orchestra from Fiddler on the Roof. There's also playful piano music from Dvorak, a graceful minuet by Boccherini, a relaxing guitar prelude by Villa-Lobos and evocative string music by Joanna Marsh. Artists performing include Leif Ove Andsnes, Kiri Te Kanawa, Julian Bream and Itzhak Perlman.

Producer: Ian Wallington
