Your perfect Sunday soundtrack
Sarah Walker chooses three hours of classical music to reflect, restore and refresh, whether you’re carving pumpkins for Halloween or out on an autumn stroll.
Sarah Walker with three hours of classical music to reflect, restore and refresh.
In today’s programme, pianist Sophie-Mayuko Vetter joins the Hamburg Symphony Orchestra for some glorious Mozart, there's theatrical romanticism from Wagner and Ponchielli, and a quirky arrangement of Henry Purcell for Saxophone Quartet.
Sarah also discovers an ethereal dance inspired by the visionary music of Hildegard of Bingen, and guitarist Plinio Fernandes joins forces with cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason to transport us to the heart of South America.
Plus, Cecile Chaminade takes her revenge…
