Sarah Walker chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning, whether you’re out walking your dog or staying cosy inside.
Sarah Walker chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning.
Today, Sarah shares a radiant orchestral suite full of birdsong, and we hear a distinct spring in the step of Josef Myslivecek in a recording from the London Mozart Players.
There’s also satisfyingly scrunchy chromaticism from Biagio Marini, while the Norwegian Soloists’ Choir and Ensemble Allegria bring a Bach chorale to life.
Plus, Frans Van Ruth makes the piano sing with an enchanting composition by Gertrude van den Bergh.
