An enticing classical Sunday mix
Sarah Walker chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning, whether you’re getting Sunday lunch ready or enjoying a late breakfast.
Sarah Walker chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning.
Sarah’s selections range from the sparkling clarity of Scarlatti in a performance from pianist Christian Zacharias, to a 1000 year old antiphon brought to life by the Armonico Consort. And while Alamire revel in Thomas Tallis’ intricate polyphony, Barbara Bonney demonstrates perfect control of a single vocal line in a sumptuous Schubert Lied.
There’s also rich tones and harmonies in a waltz from Brazilian composer Chiquinha Gonzaga, Emmanuel Pahud shines in a Mozart flute quartet, and we embark on orchestral adventures aplenty with contributions from Borodin and Bruckner.
Plus, a sharp-edged nocturnal concerto from Vivaldi is reworked for Milos Karadaglic’s guitar...
