ALBUM

Volume 1

Volume 2

These exquisite selections from the classical repertoire are soothing and delightful. Partnering with Classic FM, Decca seeks with this anthology to invite the listener to occupy their own imagination by way of the vast history of classical music, from Bach and Pachelbel to Beethoven and Puccini. Barber’s Adagio for Strings, one of the most poignant, singular works of the 20th century, is a must-hear, while Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata rings true in its haunting, tender purity. Pärt’s Spiegel im Spiegel (Mirror in the Mirror) is an introspective force of nature, featuring consoling, floating melodies played over dreamy arpeggios.
