A classical Sunday mix for Easter

Sarah Walker chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning, whether you're getting Easter lunch ready or making the most of the spring weather.

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

Sarah celebrates Easter Sunday with festivities from Rimsky-Korsakov and J. S. Bach. An intriguing madrigal by Italian Renaissance composer Maddalena Casulana is paired with pianistic acrobatics from David Greilsammer, and there's a buccaneering overture from Berlioz.

There’s also quiet reflection in a new recording from pianist and composer Stuart MacRae, a comforting Dvorak trio performed by Triple Forte, and a true taste of Spanish sunshine from Joaquin Rodrigo.
