Your perfect Sunday soundtrack

Join Sarah Walker for three hours of classical masterpieces, perfect for recharging your batteries or setting the tone for a peaceful morning.

Sarah Walker brings you three hours of classical music to reflect, restore, and refresh.

Today, Sarah presents a rich mix of well-loved classics by Handel, Mozart, Elgar, and Gershwin, alongside some exciting discoveries from lesser-known composers such as Frank Ticheli, Adalbert Gyrowetz, and John Johnson.

There鈥檚 also choral highlights from the Corvus Consort, the Rodolfus Choir, and the Choir of New College, Oxford. And as we embrace the heart of spring, you鈥檒l hear Schumann鈥檚 musical picture of a blossoming flower, and Sibelius capturing the season beautifully with his radiant orchestral tone poem, Spring Song.
