Sarah Walker chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning.
Today, there is music from one of Beethoven’s favourite Mozart piano concertos, Radu Lupu shines with a celebrated Schubert recording, and there is sparkling chamber music from Ravel crisply performed by Trio Mondrian. Sarah also shares a highlight from a new release featuring music by Fanny Mendelssohn, and introduces an intriguing choral work that takes its inspiration from Byzantine Greece.
Plus, Telemann brings music for the breakfast table...
