A refreshing Sunday classical mix

Sarah Walker chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning, whether you鈥檙e keeping cosy inside or out for a brisk January walk.

Sarah Walker chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning.

Easing into the first Sunday of the year with a gentle oboe melody from Frederick Delius, Sarah also discovers choral music by Owain Park that unfurls into gloriously layered harmony, and shares the inauspicious travel tale behind one of Glinka鈥檚 Italianate songs.

The morning takes a Scandinavian turn with a nimble Norwegian dance performed by pianist H氓kon Austb酶, and there鈥檚 also a pastoral Rhapsody from Hugo Alfv茅n, with orchestral dynamism that鈥檚 perfect for driving off wintry weather.

Plus, harpist Coline Jaget brings out the deft artistry in a piece that packs more than 300 pedal changes into just over three minutes鈥�
