BBC Radio 3 - Classical Mixtape, The eclectic classical mix

In Tune's specially curated playlist: an eclectic mix of music, including a few surprises.

Purcell's 'cold-scene' aria What Pow'r Art Thou shivers besides a cinematic waltz by PJ Harvey and the welcoming chimes of Foday Musa Suso's kora.

Purcell's "cold scene" aria What Pow'r Art Thou shivers besides a cinematic waltz by PJ Harvey and the welcoming chimes of Foday Musa Suso's kora.  There's plenty of romantic warmth in Suk's Serenade for string orchestra and a heady arrangement of Shostakovich's Waltz for jazz band, plus the rapturous Je vais mourir from Les Troyens a Carthage by Berlioz.  There's also a tinkling Rondo from Haydn's Sonata in A flat, and to open, a lustrous Love Chant by the unmistakable voices of Le Mystere Des Voix Bulgares.

Live music and the arts: broadcasts more live music than any other radio network. Classical music is its core. Genres include world and new music, jazz, speech and drama.
