BBC Radio 3 - Classical Fix, Christmas Special: Mwaka Mudenda

Linton Stephens mixes Blue Peter's Mwaka Mudenda a playlist for Christmas wind-down.

Linton Stephens mixes Blue Peter presenter Mwaka Mudenda a playlist to wind down after Christmas Day.

To round off Christmas Day and begin the Boxing Day recovery, Linton Stephens tries out a mix of soothing, reflective and festive classical music on Blue Peter presenter Mwaka Mudenda. Linton's playlist for Mwaka includes everything from festive favourites which captured his own imagination as a child, to tracks he uses to escape. Will Mwaka find something to love on the playlist, or, at the very least, something she thinks might help wind down stressed-out parents? Grab some leftovers and that jar of piccalilli from the back of the fridge and tune in to find out.

Classical Fix is a podcast aimed at opening up the world of classical music to anyone who fancies giving it a go. Each week, Linton mixes a bespoke playlist for his guest, who then joins him to share their impressions of their new classical discoveries.
