Conductor Pete Harrison

Frazzled by life in the fast lane? Time to relax the tempo, unwind, and submit to some of the most chilled music ever to grace screens large and small.

Pete Harrison masterminds a soothing selection of stressbusters ranging from the brief encounter of Rachmaninov's iconic slow movement to a sublime Death in Venice courtesy

of Mahler's haunting Adagietto (catch the whole symphony, by the way, on Sunday 24 February).

Wake up and smell the coffee with Grieg's Peer Gynt Morning, sidle up to Satie's Hellenically-poised Gymnopedie, and enjoy a spot of languorous moon-bathing with Debussy, all woven around some of the most beautiful piano concerto slow movements ever committed to paper. A musical spa treatment for the soul.
