Alternative Classical: London
London's vibrant contemporary classical scene boasts a complex range of global textures. Here, you'll discover composers like Anna Meredith, whose pieces throb with percussive elements borrowed from glitch, electronic music, and club scenes. And you'll find out what Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood sounds like when working with Israeli and Indian classical musicians.

Alternative Classical: New York
The “alt” in this movement doesn't just indicate the contributions of indie-rock talents like The National's Bryce Dessner; it also suggests an alternative to classical-music factionalism. Members of this scene gleefully combine lessons learned from early American minimalism with influences that include the European repertoire and the progressive edge of contemporary pop.

Stravinsky Conducts Stravinsky
Given that this composer pushed orchestral vituosity to new heights with fiercely complex compositions such as The Rite of Spring, it makes sense that his own recordings have a singular energy. Stravinsky had a talent for making sure each layer of an extravagantly orchestrated piece had its moment to shine, an attribute that makes his conducting unmistable for fance of his powerful aesthetic.

Baltic Contemporary Classical
Arvo Pärt is the most famous member of this regional contemporary classical scene, but his profound sacred works aren't the only inspired music you'll encounter here. In this playlist, compositions that indulge in spellbinding chromatic vocal polyphony mix with pieces that, variously, feature big band-style stomp, Romantic-influenced orchestration, and experimental electronic timbres.
Deleted - dunno why...
European Kindness & Goat’s Cheese
Classic and fulfilling love filled 70s and 80s non-English language funky chunes - with some modern correlates and classics that just fit the bill.
Maybe you’ll like this one instead...
