Classical music to lift the spirits

In Tune's specially curated playlist, with Mozart's first symphony (written when he was just 8 years old), Canteloube's rapturous Bailero and a tender electronic piece by Four Tet.

In Tune's specially curated playlist, with wunderkind Mozart's first symphony (written when he was just a nipper of 8 years old), Canteloube's rapturous invitation to a shepherd from his Chants d'Auvergne, and Mama teaches Sanskrit, a tender electronic piece by Four Tet. There's also a The Easy Winners, a perky rag by Scott Joplin, and Chilly Gonzales' gentle riff upon a Bach prelude. Then there's the transcendental opening to Biber's Mystery sonata, a tumultous Allegro barbaro by Bartok, and to finish, the triumphant finale from Fanny Mendelssohn's piano trio in D minor Op.11.
