Classical music to boost your mood

Classical Mixtape

Available for 25 days

Half and hour of back-to-back classical music to help wind down at the end of a busy day. Mozart's transcendently beautiful slow movement from his clarinet concerto opens the sequence, followed by a Schubert piano minuet and music for violin and orchestra by Joseph White. Cooling the temperature is Ravel's "Jeux d'eau" and William Byrd's Mass for three voices, and the mix ends with one of Bach's most immersive works, originally written as his E major violin concerto, and recycled for keyboard. Producer: Kevin Bee To listen on most smart speakers, just say “ask BBC Sounds to play Classical Mixtape”.
