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

Sarah kick-starts today’s programme with an image of sparkling water, perfect for a hot summer’s day, before delving into the earthy and direct energy of Ruth Gipps’ Horn Concerto.

She also enjoys an unpredictable, action-packed symphony by J. C. Bach, and admires Fanny Mendelssohn’s skill in using virtuosic repetition to take the listener on an intriguing journey.

Plus, listen out carefully for two very different boleros...
