A classical mix to brighten your Sunday

Linton Stephens chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning, whether you鈥檙e enjoying a peaceful lie-in or on the way to catch up with friends.

Linton Stephens chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning.

Linton鈥檚 choices range from one of Joaquin Rodrigo鈥檚 most ravishing guitar melodies to the energy of a horn concerto by Ruth Gipps. The Chamber Orchestra of Europe sparkle in a performance of a favourite Rossini overture, and the rich textures of sitar and orchestra are conjured by composer Jasdeep Singh Degur. We鈥檒l also take a journey to the skies with Ralph Vaughan Williams鈥� celebrated Lark Ascending.

Plus Linton enjoys some musical snapshots of his own instrument, the bassoon.
