Take 30 minutes out with a relaxing classical mix

Classical Mixtape

Available for 21 days

This evening's mixtape includes a piano prelude by Chopin and piano music by Amy Beach which invokes the call of the Hermit Thrush. The slow movement of a Beethoven piano trio is paired with the equally beautiful third movement of Brahms' Third Symphony. We also hear music by Thomas Tallis and Henry Purcell. Producer: Kevin Satizabal Carrascal To listen on most smart speakers, just say 'Ask BBC Sounds to play The Classical Mixtape'.
