Sarah Walker with an intriguing musical mix

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

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

Today, Sarah starts the morning with a ‘hygienic’ prelude from Rossini, finds maturity and genius in a piece that Mendelssohn wrote when he was only 17, and feels the heat in a John Barry score.

Plus, Bach’s energetic ‘Wachet Auf!’ awakens the senses, and a Cuban Overture lifts the spirits.
