Sarah Walker with a lively musical mix

Sarah Walker chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning, whether you’re doing some spring cleaning or soaking up the sun.

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

Today, Sarah gets engrossed in the story of a magic doll in a piece by Elena Kats-Chernin for eight double basses and orchestra, celebrates the timelessness of the Sea Shanty through the voices of The Fisherman’s Friends, and blows off the cobwebs with the rolling rhythms of Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 3.

She also luxuriates in guitarist Miloš's languorous version of Here Comes the Sun, and takes comfort in the familiar sound world of Schubert’s String Quintet.

Plus, choral music that will make you stop what you’re doing…
