Linton Stephens with a lively musical mix

Linton Stephens chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning, whether you’re curling up in bed with a hot drink or getting some September sun.

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

Linton’s choices include some rousing orchestral music depicting the dramatic Scottish countryside, and a piece by William Walton that pays homage to a city on the south coast of England.

He also picks a movement from Germaine Tailleferre’s piano concerto which has some surprising twists and turns, and an arrangement of "Song of the Hawaiian Nation" which builds harmonically over the simple refrain…

Plus, Barbara Strozzi’s lamenting song ‘What can I do?’ is accompanied by the lilting percussion of La Magnifica Comunità…
