Classical music to inspire you
An eclectic mix featuring classical favourites, lesser-known gems and a few surprises, including music from Nathaniel Dett, Ravel, Saint-Saens, Sparagna, Dvorak and Shostakovich.
The heat of a summer鈥檚 afternoon is conjured up by the characteristic air 鈥楻amah鈥� and a glowing Pavane. A refreshing shower of fossils awakens us from our early evening reverie, before we 鈥渄ream my flower, dream and rest, dream of a world of musicians,鈥� which we hear in the finale of Dvorak鈥檚 Violin Concerto before a capricious Shostakovich Prelude prepares us for tonight鈥檚 Prom.
Produced by Richard Denison
