Start your day with inspiring classical melodies

Classical Unwind

Available for 45 days

Calming classical music to help you focus and set you up for the day ahead. Presented by broadcaster, author and counselling psychologist Dr Sian Williams. Featuring a wealth of relaxing, recharging melodies from composers like Dvorak, Takemitsu, and Laura Snowden. Sian spies a crescent moon while out to take a breath and finds encouragement in it to look up more often. Also, Professor Catherine Loveday explores whether understanding music can help us learn other languages too, and there's music by Ludovico Einaudi to help us to find our morning focus.
