Linton Stephens with an inspiring musical mix

Linton Stephens chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning, whether you're enjoying the summer weather or relaxing indoors.

Linton Stephens sits in for Sarah Walker and chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning.

His choices include a dramatic musical picture of the Sussex countryside by Avril Coleridge-Taylor, a piece by Brighton-based composer Poppy Ackroyd that reveals some beautiful and surprising aspects of the clarinet, and joyful sounds from Fiona Monbet’s jazzy violin.

Plus perennial favourites by Villa-Lobos, Handel, Ravel and the Mendelssohn siblings.
