Half an hour of the finest classical music
Take time out with a 30-minute soundscape of classical music.
This evening's Classical Mixtape celebrates disabled composers and performers. Sit back and enjoy a Trumpet Minuet for Organ by blind organist Alfred Hollins, followed by Frederic Delius' Aquarelles for String Orchestra.
Les Sirenes by French Composer Lili Boulanger who died of Crohn's disease at just 24-years-old precedes dreamy music by the blind Celtic harpist, singer and composer Turlough O'Carolan. Plus, music by Rodrigo and the Left-handed pianist Nicholas McCarthy plays Scriabin. To finish, blind Dutch flautist and composer Jacob van Eyck evokes the beautiful song of the English Nightingale.
Producer: Kevin Satizabal Carrascal
