Classical music for your journey

Take time out with a 30-minute soundscape of classical music, featuring a romance by Schumann, a canzonetta by Peja膷evi膰, a film score by Rota, and an well-loved aria by Handel.

After Chevalier de Saint-Georges's concerto for violin, your Classical Mixtape brings you to Italy with Molino's duo for guitar and flute, followed by Nino Rota's score for Federico Fellini's 1973 film 'Amarcord'. Back to France then with Faur茅's 'Cantique', inspired by a text by classical playwright Jean Racine, and a suite from Rameau's 1760 opera 'Les Paladins'. After stopping in Australia for Elena Kats-Chernin's 'Wild Swans', and Croatia with Dora Peja膷evi膰's piece for violin and piano, the music returns to England with 'Ombra mai fu' from Handel's 'Serse'.
