Take 30 minutes out with a relaxing classical mix

A soundscape of classical jewels: a Scriabin study, Gluck's Orfeo, Bach on the hurdy-gurdy, an Arvo Part mass, Adams's Oppenheimer aria, a Ravel trio and a Peruvian Baroque dance.

A 30-minute soundscape of classical jewels: a pensive study for piano by Scriabin; Gluck's Orfeo lamenting the death of his lover Euridice; JS Bach on the hurdy-gurdy; the Kyrie from Arvo Part's Berliner Mass; a Chopin prelude from his Op. 28; an aria from John Adams's opera 'Doctor Atomic', sung by the character of Robert Oppenheimer; a Baroque dance from Peru; and a colourful Ravel trio.

Producer: Juan Carlos Jaramillo
