A perfect classical Sunday selection

Sarah Walker chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning, whether you’re out for a walk or enjoying a lie-in.

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

Sarah’s selections include a Mozart concerto that places the French horn centre stage, a sparkling Couperin performance from Alexandre Tharaud, and a musical trip to Seville with the Paris Orchestra.

The morning also takes a step into the fantastical as Arnold Bax narrates a Gaelic folk tale through the Ulster Orchestra, and a William Blake watercolour inspires a haunting Ruth Gipps tone-poem.

Plus Polish composer Henryk GΓ³recki offers radiant choral harmonies in a declaration to the Virgin Mary.
