Switch up your listening with classical music

Half an hour of back-to-back classical music to help you wind down at the end of a busy day.

A grand waltz by Glazunov opens the half hour sequence of classical music, whisking you to the stars with Eriks Esenvalds' celestial choir and Tibetan bowls, and there's clog dancing with "La Fille mal gard茅e". Piano music by Rachmaninov, a song by Beethoven and works by Pauline Hall and John Williams complete the mix.

Producer: Helen Garrison
