Sparklingly festive classical music for a wintry walk

A sparkling mix of music shining brightly in winter.

Plug into half an hour of back to back music full of lightness, brightness and luminosity - from shimmering choral works and radiant orchestral favourites to translucent folk interpretations and the gossamer harmonies of a muted winter palette. This is music that shines and glints, sparkles and glows in all tones and hues.

Producer: Christina Kenny.
