Sarah Walker chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning, including works by Dvorak, Shostakovich, Pisendel, JS Bach and Eric Coates.

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

Sarah brings an injection of pace and brightness to Boxing Day with a quintet movement by Dvorak that’s full of melodic life, a waltz around a Moscow housing estate with Shostakovich, and a crisp violin concerto by birthday boy Johann Georg Pisendel.

Plus a haunting song about a snow hare, a seasonal cantata by JS Bach, and the story of Cinderella transformed into a fairy-tale fantasy by Eric Coates.
