The string quartet 'Intimate Letters' composed by Janáek next, then Sea Interludes from Benjamin Britten. The second part of the hour has some film music, a sad song by Henry Purcell, a piece for flute and harp, and some Mozart. 

Channel 292 can be pulled live off the internet if the reception is poor in your location. Easy to find their site with a google search. A very good site for online SDR receivers all over the world is: http://kiwisdr.com/public/  Click the 'Map' button in the top left of the screen.
