An enticing classical Sunday selection

Sarah Walker chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning, whether you’re heading over to the allotment or settling down with a morning coffee.

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

Today, Jordi Savall directs a rambunctious recording of Vivaldi, Finghin Collins makes the piano sing with Louis-Claude Daquin, and clarinettist Martin Fröst performs music by Mozart that’s brimming with energy.

There’s also a choral work by a 17th century Benedictine nun that’s full of expressive pathos, and a playful collaboration between accordion and tuba.
