Half an hour of the finest classical music

Take time out with a 30-minute soundscape of classical music with music from Allegri, Beach and Mozart.

Unwind from a busy day with a 30-minute soundscape of classical music. This evening's mixtape begins with the famous Adagio from Mozart's Clarinet Concerto. Gottfried Heinrich Stölzel makes an appearance before we hear pianist Isata Kanneh-Mason performing 'By the Still Waters' by Amy Beach, and Allegri's 'Miserere mei deus' finishes our journey.

Produced by Sean Smith.

To listen on most smart speakers, just say 'Ask BBC Sounds to play Radio 3'.
