This evening’s Classical mixtape takes you on a musical journey starting with the fiery vocals of Pallavicino’s opera, L'Antiope, followed by Sammartini’s Recorder Concerto in F Major. The solo harp takes centre stage in Hasselman’s Concert Study La Source. Plus, Richard Strauss’ Wiegenlied, film music by John Williams, Fauré’s Morceau de Lecture, solo piano from the Venezuelan composer Ramon Delgado Palacios and Debussy’s Prélude à l'aprés-midi d'un Faune.
