Your daily classical soundtrack

Classical Mixtape

Available for 28 days

30 minutes of back to back classical music to help you wind down at the end of a busy day. Today's eclectic mix begins with a poignant theme from The Gadfly, performed by the cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason. Amy Woodforde-Finden's romantic Kashmiri song and an Adagio by André Caplet sit alongside a wistful piano miniature by Mompou, and the evocative "Hymn for the Fallen" by John Williams, from his memorable score for the film "Saving Private Ryan". William Walton's music for Henry V, a French 18th century sonata, and an attractive Dusk Waltz by Cecil Armstrong-Gibbs complete the musical journey. Producer: Helen Garrison
