Sarah Walker with a fresh musical mix

Sarah Walker chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning, whether you’re getting your garden ready for summer or brewing a coffee.

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

Today, Sarah admires Paul Taffanel’s skilful writing for winds, and marvels at the intense sonorities of Natalya Tsupryk's choral music.

There’s also romantic drama in Ethel Smyth’s overture to the Boatswain’s Mate, and Dave Brubeck challenges us to keep up with his Unsquare Dance.

Plus, Antonín Dvořák whisks us off to a world of glittering chandeliers and twirling dresses with his Prague Waltzes...
