Shining classical music in the depths of winter
In Tune's specially curated playlist: a sparkling mix of music shining brightly in winter.
As part of ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 3's Light in the Darkness season, half an hour of uninterrupted music full of lightness, brightness and luminosity. From shimmering choral works and radiant orchestral favourites to translucent folk interpretations and the gossamer harmonies of a muted winter palette. This is music that shines and glints, sparkles and glows in all tones and hues.
