Your perfect Sunday soundtrack

Sarah Walker with three hours of classical music to reflect, restore and refresh, whether you鈥檙e recharging for the week ahead or preparing for lunch with friends.

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

Today, Sarah shares exuberant British music by Elgar and Walton. There are sumptuous melodies from Coleridge-Taylor, Handel, and Ryuichi Sakamoto, and the beautiful vocal tones of Stile Antico singing music by Palestrina.

There鈥檚 also captivating drama with a movement of a Brahms Symphony played by the Berlin Philharmonic under Sir Simon Rattle, a feverish whirling dance from Debussy, and Sarah looks back to her Easter on the West coast of Wales with music by Filkin鈥檚 Drift.

Plus, Benjamin Britten turns all playful鈥�
