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 the ethereal sound of Purcell’s Music for a While in a rich arrangement for viola d’amore and cello, plays some Debussy piano music reimagined for orchestra and explores the trombone in the hands of Leopold Mozart.

Plus, an energetic piece from a spider eating classical composer…
