In Tune's specially curated playlist including a concerto for two cellos by Vivaldi, Alfred Schinttke's music for the film The Waltz and the quartet "Bella figlia dell'amore" from Verdi's opera Rigoletto. Contemplative piano music by Schumann is followed by a sinewy waltz for wind quintet by Nielsen and Purcell's incidental music for the play Abdelazer. The mix comes to a heady climax with the Bacchanale from Saint-Saens's Samson and Delilah.
