Your perfect Sunday soundtrack
Sarah Walker with three hours of classical music to reflect, restore and refresh, whether you’re enjoying a cup of tea or reading the papers.
Sarah Walker with three hours of classical music to reflect, restore and refresh.
Today Sarah shares a celebration of London by Elgar, an orchestral piece that sings of Scotland’s wild countryside, and music by Darius Milhaud that transports us to Rio de Janeiro.
There’s also a beautiful song by Francesca Caccini sung by Ruby Hughes, we find George Butterworth in an exquisitely pastoral mood, and Kerry Andrew arranges a heart-wrenching traditional tune for choir, attempting to capture the sounds of the high seas.
Plus, Dmitri Shostakovich takes us to tea…
