Your daily classical soundtrack

Take time out with a 30-minute soundscape of classical favourites, including Mozart, Chopin and J贸hann J贸hannsson.

Today's mixtape opens with a fragile Mozart piano concerto, leading into folk-inflected Annie Laurie by Lady John Douglas Scott. Anticipation builds with music from the film The Mercy by J贸hann J贸hannsson, before the mournful sounds of Dido's Lament, arranged for orchestra. This is followed by some lush symphonic Parry and two nocturnes: one by Humperdinck for string quartet and solo violin, and one by Chopin for piano to close.
