Classical music for your journey

Take time out with a 30-minute soundscape of classical favourites, including music by Elgar, Schubert and Ravel.

The night, and the moon, provide the backdrop for this seamless half-hour soundscape of classical music. Starting with a song of the night by Elgar, we also hear a wanderer speaking to the moon as Schubert sets a poem by Johann Gabriel Seidl, and Dvorak's song to the moon from his opera Rusalka. Plus music by John Barry, Mel Bonis and Domenico Scarlatti, and the sequence ends in the light, with Ravel setting words by Victor Hugo.
