Sarah Walker with an inspiring 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 explores expressive and curious sounds, with an unusual piece for winds and piano by Saint-Saens and a hypnotic symphony by Haydn that appears to have its first two movements the wrong way round.
She also finds gentleness in a fantasy for piano based on a sentimental Irish folk song, and fun but weird music that, despite being written in the 14th century, sounds as if it could be a Dalek’s favourite tune.
Plus, the sparkling musical skill of jazz vocalist and pianist Shirley Horn.
