About
Originally released in 2001 to popular success, Classical Chillout was as well-known for its iconic cover artwork as it was for its innovative selection of music. A skilful blend of traditional classical pieces – many known from film and television – programmed alongside genre-defying ‘modern classics’ - from movie themes, club classics to modern minimalism (more recently defined as ‘neoclassical’).
Fast-forward 18 years and Classical Chillout has been given a 2019 makeover – many of the great tracks you know and love from the original album alongside fresh new sounds in keeping with the original album concept.
Available for the first time on vinyl and as a specially extended programme for download and stream, Classical Chillout is back!
The track listing includes pieces by Einaudi, Riopy and Helen Jane Long; recent hits by our frontline artists: Clair de lune by Alexandre Tharaud, Le cygne (The Swan) by Gautier Capuçon, Gabriel’s Oboe from the movie The Mission by Renaud Capuçon (featured on his “Cinema” album) or The Deer Hunter cavatina by guitarist Thibaut Garcia; works by Martin Kohlstedt and by Carlos Cipa; catalogue milestones such as Pärt’s Spiegel im Spiegel and John Williams’ Schindler List’s Theme by violinist Tasmin Little (named BBC Music Magazine Personality of the Year in mid-April), and other Classics essentials: Moonlight Sonata, Fauré’s Requiem In Paradisum, Lakmé’s Flower duet, Satie’s Gnossienne No. 1, etc.
