Power through with classical music
Take time out with a 30-minute soundscape of classical favourites, including music by Peja膷evi膰, Faure and E拧envalds.
An engaging mix of culinary-inspired classical music for half an hour, featuring the work Mendelssohn wrote in response to clarinettist Heinrich Joseph Baermann and his son Carl鈥檚 invitation to compose a piece for a forthcoming tour in return for steamed dumplings and sweet-cheese strudel, as well as the tuned wine glasses that accompany 膾riks E拧envalds鈥� setting of words by Sara Teasdale, and Faure portrays the muted hues of Verlaine鈥檚 Venice.鈥�
To listen on most smart speakers, just say 'Ask 麻豆社 Sounds to play Radio 3'.
