Classical Mixtape

Available for 28 days

Today's mixtape opens with some melancholy Beethoven on brass, followed by strident strings by Mendelssohn. This leads into the nostalgic sounds of Hymn to the Fallen from Saving Private Ryan by John Williams. Lesser-known piano music by Josephine Lang melts into heart-wrenching music for string quartet by Thomas Adès, before a chirpy mandolin concerto by Giovanni Paisiello picks up the mood. The mixtape closes with a pastoral idyll by George Butterworth.
