Sarah Walker chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning, whether you listen every Sunday or you’re catching up on your commute.

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

Today, Sarah blows off the cobwebs with George Gershwin’s sumptuous overture to the musical Oh, Kay! and finds poignant melodies in Amy Beach’s Piano Quintet in F sharp minor.

There’s also a bright and bouncy version of a famous Bach chorale in the hands of cellist Yo-Yo Ma, with Ton Koopman and members of the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra, and Carl Maria von Weber invites us to dance.

Plus, Sarah plays the song which has the only reference to Rotherham that she’s ever heard in music…
