The perfect classical half hour

Take time out with a 30-minute soundscape of classical music including a concerto by Rachmaninov, sparkling piano music by Ravel and choral birdsong from Eric Whitacre.

Back to back classical music to help you wind down for the evening. Romantic orchestral music from Rachmaninov sits alongside sparkling piano music depicting a boat on the water from Ravel. Ethereal choral music from Eric Whitacre and Herbert Howells is woven into the mix, along with a soaring film score by Malcolm Arnold, and a song of scorched love by Faur茅.
