Various Artists - Night Air - The Relaxing Side of Classical Music

This collection of popular classics perfectly evokes that the unique atmosphere of the night-time. All but two of the tracks are by the acclaimed American conductor Leonard Slatkin and the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra who perform works by Ravel, Satie, Debussy, Vaughan Williams, Bizet, Faure, Borodin and Tchaikovsky. Jesus Lopez-Cobos and the Lausanne Chamber Orchestra complete the album with excerpts from Respighi's Ancient Airs and Dances.
