Sarah Walker with a refreshing musical mix

Sarah Walker chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning, and puts a musical spin on events.

Sarah Walker chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning, and puts a musical spin on events.

The west wind whirls the leaves around and fireworks might still be heard cracking and popping, inspiring Sarah to play music by Claude Debussy that conjures up autumnal audio pictures. Then a flute melds with stringed instruments in the sweetest of music by Mozart, while conductor John Wilson gets the ѿý Philharmonic waltzing with Eric Coates in Dancing Nights.

There’ll also be a magical scene, created by the combined talents of Igor Stravinsky, the Cleveland Orchestra and Pierre Boulez plus a couple of rather mysterious surprises - one a mellow jazz duo, the other a gentle serenade by the French composer Germaine Tailleferre.

Finally Sarah presents the bold, agile, bluesy sound of George Gershwin’s An American in Paris as painted by the London Symphony Orchestra and conductor Andre Previn.
