Sarah Walker chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning, whether you¡¯re out enjoying the good weather or opting for a late breakfast.

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

Sarah¡¯s selections include a rarely heard Irish Rhapsody by Ernest John Moeran, entrancing choral harmonies from Morten Lauridsen, and a tribute to Japanese cinema played by guitarist Shin-ichi Fukuda.

Elsewhere in the programme, trumpeter Tine Thing Helseth brings Norwegian composer Agathe Backer Gr?ndahl into the spotlight with a charming brass ensemble arrangement. And while Baroque flautist Rachel Brown delights with a work by Quantz, Frans Br¨¹ggen brightens the morning with Haydn's Fire Symphony.

Plus, a young Wagner turns to comic opera¡­
