Tonight's Classical Mixtape opens with music for wind by Zemlinsky, followed by solo JS Bach and orchestral Dvorak.  Accordionist and Radio 3 New Generation Artist Ryan Corbett plays his arrangement of Verdi's Prelude to La Traviata, leading into a Song Without Words by Mendelssohn, and Mozart's Adagio for violin and orchestra played by Baibe Skride.  The sequence ends with a Peruvian dance, a Cachua, and music from Prokofiev's score to Cinderella.
