Sarah Walker with three hours of classical music to reflect, restore and refresh.

Today Sarah discovers gentleness in the meditative choral music of Palestrina, and the cascading harp patterns of Lynn Palmer’s ‘Classical Suite’. And there’s music to awaken the senses, with a flamboyant performance of a Chopin impromptu, and the strident brass of Girolamo Frescobaldi’s ‘Toccata’.

There’s a wistful mood in the air too, as Richard Rodney Bennett injects a beautiful piano duet with syncopated samba rhythms, and Veronique Gens sings Fauré’s first published song about a flower’s unrequited love.

Plus, Dvorak takes us to the Carnival…
