Cosy Classics For Hygge

It’s time to find your favourite woolly jumper and get ready for some cosy classics to cheer up a cold dark night.

It’s time to find your favourite woolly jumper and get ready for some cosy classics to cheer up a cold dark night, as Jamie explores the Danish concept of Hygge and the art of enjoying life’s simple pleasures. We’ll hear nutmeg and ginger-inspired traditional early music, Bach’s cantata about coffee and Strauss conjures musical dreams by the fireside, plus Vaughan Williams’ hymn for sleep and Rachel Portman’s soundtrack for the film Chocolat.
