Three hours of classical sparkle

Available for 28 days

This week, Sarah’s playlist takes in far away lands, boundless seascapes, and an endless maze of sun-washed streets. There’ll be soaring, heart-melting harmonies from Rachmaninov, Mel Bonis conjures forgotten scenes of the Orient, while Saint-Saëns whisks us away into a world of mystery. For this week’s Choral reflection, Sarah heads off to Latvia with ethereal music by Pēteris Vasks sung by the Latvian Radio Choir, and there’s also a chance to hear the shimmering textures of Debussy’s La Mer in full. Plus, music to capture the golden drift of long summer afternoons by Agustín Barrios… A Tandem Production for BBC Radio 3.
