Classical music for your journey

Take time out with a 30-minute soundscape of classical favourites, including film music by John Williams and opera by Tchaikovsky.

Half an hour of back to back classical music to help wind down at the end of a busy day. Let's go to the movies with an epic fanfare from John Williams, or go to the opera with an extract from Tchaikovsky's Eugene Onegin. The mix also includes Tippett's version of the spiritual "Steal Away Home", and Price's folksong arrangement 'Drink to me only'.
