Sarah Walker with a kaleidoscopic 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 the sparkling virtuosity of violinist Julia Fischer playing Paganini, and later guides us through some less well-known but equally attractive pieces by Augusta Gross and Rebecca Clarke.

She also finds unexpected expression in the music of Wilhelm Friedemann Bach, the eldest son of JS Bach, and marvels at the precise delicacy of Mitsuko Uchida’s piano technique.

And as part of the ѿý's focus on disability in November, Sarah will be marking the 25th anniversary of the Disability Discrimination Act.
