Half an hour of the finest classical music

Take time out with a 30-minute soundscape of classical music.

A grand multi-choir motet by exiled English Elizabethan composer Peter Philips begins tonight's Mixtape, and it ends with a prayer from his Italian contemporary Giovanni Legrenzi. In between, music by Haydn and Chopin, plus a fado song from Portugal, and the Brighouse and Rastrick Brass Band version of the classic song A Whiter Shade of Pale.
