Your perfect Sunday soundtrack

Sarah Walker with three hours of classical music to reflect, restore and refresh, whether you鈥檙e enjoying a slow morning coffee, reading a book, or about to go out for a walk.

Sarah Walker with three hours of classical music to reflect, restore and refresh.
Today, Sarah shares a newly discovered recording of Bach鈥檚 cantata 鈥淲achet Auf鈥�, a technicolour setting of Psalm 110 by Marianna Martines, and Dvorak鈥檚 carefree Slavonic Rhapsody No. 3.

There鈥檚 also a cheeky Offenbach overture that parodies the story of Helen of Troy, a movement from a Mozart piano concerto with a glorious cadenza written by the soloist, and a new release of music from guitarist Guillem Perez-Quer.

Also, Ravel is on the high seas鈥�
