Switch up your listening with classical music

Classical Mixtape

Available for 29 days

Half an hour of back-to-back classical music to help you wind down at the end of a busy day. Today's mix begins with a poignant devotional choral work by Edvard Grieg, a piano prelude by Alexander Scriabin, and Ólafur Arnalds' heart-rending score for the memorable 2013 TV crime drama series "Broadchurch". English pastoral music from George Butterworth, a reflective motet from J.S. Bach, as well as chamber music by Mel Bonis and Frank Bridge complete the sequence, along with a classic film score by John Barry. Producer: Helen Garrison To listen on most smart speakers, just say "Ask BBC Sounds to play Radio 3 Classical Mixtape”.
