Classical music for your journey

Half an hour of back-to-back classical music, including works by Mozart, Grieg, Mel Bonis and Malcolm Arnold. Listen out for some of John Barry's haunting score for the 1971 Nicolas Roeg film Walkabout, set in the searing heat of the Australian outback, and a seductive dance sequence from Aram Khachaturian's ballet Spartacus.
