Take time out with a 30-minute soundscape of classical favourites. Beginning with Janine Jansen playing Debussy, arranged by Jascha Heifetz, this half-hour musical sequence includes choral music by Edward Bairstow and Thomas Tallis, a folksong for orchestra by George Walker, and well-loved music by his compatriot Samuel Barber - the Adagio in its original string quartet form. Plus, to end, the Chaconne from Rameau's opera Dardanus and a Bagatelle for guitar by William Walton. Produced by Andy King. To listen on most smart speakers, just say 'Ask BBC Sounds to play Classical Mixtape’.
