To ease you into your evening, you can hear the calming music of Heitor Villa-Lobos in his tribute to rural Brazil, before journeying via a nocturne of John Field and the high romanticism of Ethel Smyth's E-major quintet, to to the glories of Bach's B-minor mass. The whole sequence concludes with a serenade for strings by Josef Suk, and before that you can hear a reflection on a moonbeam for organ by Florence Price and a clarinet quartet by Bernhard Crusell. Produced by Michael Rossi. To listen on most smart speakers, just say 'Ask BBC Sounds to play Radio 3'.
