Sarah Walker with a far-reaching musical mix

Sarah Walker chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning, whether you’re preparing for lunch or taking a walk in the park.

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

Today, Sarah discovers the surprisingly impressive force produced by virginals and harpsichord playing together, elegant poise in the sound of the bassoon, and a track that she thinks is perfectly written for guitar.

She also finds joy in the familiar with Schubert’s Ave Maria sung by Barbara Bonney, and celebrates spring with the enlivening finale of Schumann’s Symphony No.1.

Plus, calming sounds from Iceland with Sigurður Sævarsson’s Requiem, and an arrangement of Sigur Rós’s Fljótavik for violin and string orchestra.
