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 marvels at Murray Perahia’s astonishing technique as he plays music by Handel, and enjoys an energetic ‘recycled’ Mozart symphony.

She also finds her emotions stirred by voices - Anne Sofie von Otter sings a number from Kurt Weill’s musical Happy End, and a soprano soloist with Trinity College Choir Cambridge soars in an old favourite by Mendelssohn.

Plus, a tiny and joyful dance suite by Mattyas Seiber…
