Expand your horizons with classical music
In Tune's Classical Music Mixtape: an imaginative, eclectic mix which tonight includes Verdi's Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves and Bernstein's mambo from West Side Story.
Tonight, we partner Elgar in a youthful sun dance, join Verdi as he travels back to ancient Babylon and accompany Borodin In the Steppes of Central Asia. We glide swan-like on shimmering waves of joy as Liszt interprets Schubert, find a Tico-Tico bird in the cornmeal, and dance a mambo with Bernstein before the drama of Tchaikovsky鈥檚 Swan Lake brings our journey to a close.
