Your perfect Sunday soundtrack

Sarah Walker with three hours of classical music to reflect, restore and refresh, whether you鈥檙e eating breakfast, or doing some spring cleaning.

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

Today, Sarah welcomes Spring into the garden with music by Wilhelm Petersen-Berger that celebrates flowers blooming on a Swedish Island, and Chopin鈥檚 鈥楤utterfly鈥� piano etude which perfectly reflects the first flutterings of wings.

There鈥檚 also a movement from Beethoven鈥檚 鈥楶astoral鈥� Symphony, with its wide open vistas of green, otherworldly choral music from Judith Weir, and passionate music of young love (and tragedy) from Prokofiev鈥檚 Romeo and Juliet.

Plus, we鈥檙e off to Rome with Bizet鈥�
