An inviting Sunday classical mix
Sarah Walker chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning, whether you’re out and about or recharging at home.
Sarah Walker chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning.
Sarah’s selections include a Mahler arrangement of a Schubert string quartet for string orchestra, music written to accompany an eighteenth-century royal celebration, and the gentle momentum of a Tailleferre impromptu played by Marie-Catherine Girod.
The morning also includes glimpses of the celestial, with a concert overture depicting the rising and setting of the sun over the Aegean Sea, and a symphonic overture from Anatoly Lyadov that seems to capture stars reflected in a shimmering lake.
Plus, a gently sung tango tells the tale of an angel who appears in an apartment block in Argentina...
