Sarah Walker with a festive musical mix
Sarah Walker chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning and puts a musical spin on the season.
Sarah Walker chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning, and puts a musical spin on the season.
Sarah finds fresh takes on familiar seasonal tunes, from Buxtehude’s delicate organ rework of a Christmas classic, to the traditional and rousing sound of the Boar’s Head carol...
At 10.30 as part of Radio 3's Light in the Darkness season, Sarah explores a poem that draws parallels between a cat’s eyes and moonlight and we hear it read by Máiréad Tyers, an actor new to Radio 3.
She also plays the winning song from this year’s 鶹Լ Radio 3 Carol Competition and ends the morning with a sparkling ballet classic.
