30 minutes of classical inspiration

Take time out with a 30-minute soundscape of classical music, featuring works by John Rutter, Dora PejačeviΔ‡ and Maurice Ravel.

This 30-minute soundscape of classical music starts with Catrin Finch's lilting harp in a Rondeau by John Rutter, with echoes of Ravel's String Quartet. Arvo PΓ€rt sets the final line of the earliest Marian hymn, and Bernard Herrmann evokes the blustery moors in his Wuthering Heights Suite. Plus, a classic recording of Alfred Brendel playing Schubert.

Producer: Rachel Gill
