Classical music to inspire you

Take time out with a 30-minute soundscape of classical music by Torelli, Angela Morley, Bach, Chopin, Anna Clyne, Spohr and Mozart.

Angela Morley's seductive waltz from The Slipper and the Rose, Chopin's Grande Valse Brilliante - brilliantly played by Vladimir Ashkenazy and Anna Clyne's haunting The Violin are just some highlights in today's soundscape of music. Along the way there's also music by Giuseppe Torelli, Bach, Louis Spohr and Mozart's irresistible duet 'La ci darem la mano' (There we will give each other our hands) from Don Giovanni - exquisitely sung by Bryn Terfel and Danielle de Niese.

Producer: Ian Wallington
