Celebrating ten years of Classics Unwrapped

Jamie MacDougall celebrates 300 years of musical anniversaries, from the very first Classics Unwrapped in 2007 to the premiere of Handel's Water Music in 1717.

Jamie MacDougall takes a musical journey through three centuries of birthdays and anniversaries from the very first edition of Classics Unwrapped, 10 years ago, all the way back to the premiere of Handel's Water music, 300 years ago. Plus, Scottish musician Kenny Anderson, better know as King Creosote, selects his favourite piece of classical music to share with Classics Unwrapped.
