Take 30 minutes out with a relaxing classical mix
A celebration of romantic love, from the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice to a love poem from Latvia. Featuring music by Dvorak, Chopin and Jacques Brel.
'I love you night and day': the opening words of 膾riks E拧envalds's haunting choral setting of a Latvian love poem provide the inspiration for this specially curated playlist. Featuring music from Gluck's opera about Orpheus's tragic love for Eurydice; a movement from a string quartet composed by Dvo艡谩k shortly before his wedding; and a classic Parisian chanson which celebrates the dizzying feeling of being in love.
Producer: Rachel Gill
