A 30-minute prescription for calm
Take time out with a 30-minute soundscape of classical music.
An engaging mix of classical music for half an hour, featuring the dance by the daughter of a Bedouin tribe as depicted in Grieg鈥檚 incidental music to Peer Gynt, and a lullaby from Vivaldi鈥檚 setting of Psalm 127 performed on the chalumeau (the predecessor of the modern-day clarinet), plus pianist Vikingur 脫lafsson delves into Bach鈥檚 Well Tempered Clavier.
