The eclectic classical mix

In Tune鈥檚 specially curated playlist, including JS Bach's 'Double' Violin Concerto, the rollicking Quintet by Louise Farrenc and gaming composer Koji Kondo's Legend of Zelda Suite.

An eclectic classical mix, including JS Bach's "Double" Violin Concerto, the spirited Quintet by Louise Farrenc and gaming composer Koji Kondo's Legend of Zelda Suite. There's a beloved aria by Gluck which asks "What will I do without Euridice?" and a pianistic Chinese Dance from Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite. Then the "Walkman-suitable" Floe by Philips Glass takes us back to the '80s after Harry Hudson's version of "Rabbit pie day" - and to close, Rudolf Barshai's dynamic arrangement of Ravel's Petite Suite.
