Your perfect Sunday soundtrack

Petroc Trelawny with three hours of classical music to reflect, restore and refresh, whether you’re brewing a pot of coffee, or driving back from a weekend away.

Petroc Trelawny sits in for Sarah Walker, with three hours of classical music to reflect, restore and refresh.

Today Petroc’s playlist includes vibrant Haydn played by Il Giardino Armonico, a classic recording of Carl Maria von Weber and a superb lilting Waltz movement from a Symphony by British composer Adam Pounds.

There is also stunning Mozart playing from Vikingur Olafsson, lush string sounds from Ravel and Isle Weber, and Tenebrae sing Brahms in this morning's Choral Reflection.

Plus, Sibelius captures the sunrise with the help of Tine Thing Helseth…
