Your daily classical soundtrack

Take time out with a 30-minute soundscape of classical music by composers such as Bach, Respighi, and Grieg.

Take time out with a 30-minute soundscape of classical music. Gabriel Pierne introduces us to the beautiful sounds of Gracieuse's garden from Ramuntcho. A gentle arrangement of Scriabin's prelude No.2 serenely takes us to Bach's Badinerie from Suite No.2 in B minor. Next, Piazolla sweeps us into a graceful tango with The Angel's Milonga, followed by the bright Allegro from Maddalena Laura Sirmen's Quartet No.2 in B flat major. Respighi captures the spirit of birdsong, translating the fluttering of wings, and scratching of feet in his Preludio. Brahms offers a moment of calm with his beloved Intermezzo in A major and tonight's mixtape concludes with Grieg's ethereal Ave maris stella.
