Ease into the evening with classical music

Take time out with a 30-minute soundscape of classical music. Tonight's mixtape starts with Lucy Walker's dreamy Give Me Your Stars, sung by the inimitable VOCES8. Gentle solo pieces from Rachmaninov and Brahms take us up to Joe Hisaishi's beautifully cinematic Nostalgia. Tonight's mixtape ends with Agape (from the Greek word for unconditional love), a meditative and transcendent piece from Nicholas Britell's Oscar-nominated score for If Beale Street Could Talk. You can hear more film music on Radio 3’s Sound of Cinema, or on Radio 3 Unwind’s Cinematic Soundtracks - both are available on BBC Sounds.
