Half an hour of the finest classical music

30 minutes of back to back classical music including works by Bach, Piazzolla, and Caroline Shaw.

Half and hour of back to back classical music to help wind down at the end of a busy day. Today's eclectic mix beings with one of Rachmaninov's most ecstatic piano preludes, followed by a poignant guitar arrangement of a song by Paul Simon and performed by Milos. Also in the sequence you can hear a very well known piece of J.S. Bach, a hypnotic piece of string writing by Caroline Shaw, Piazzolla's "Oblivion", and a beautiful Renaissance lament by Thomas Tomkins. If you listen closely, you might also catch a familiar TV theme.
