Classical music for focus or relaxation

An eclectic mix including music by Mozart, Albeniz and Icelandic composer Johann Gunnar Johannsson.

Nothing can match music in its power to convey and inspire moods from joy to sadness, reflective to buoyant, and tonight's sequence embraces a gentle Serenade from Joseph Suk, a version of a Bach prelude given the title 'and at the hour of death', plus the sheer exuberance of The Gipsy Kings in their own take on Sinatra's My Way.
