Your perfect Sunday soundtrack

Sarah Walker with three hours of classical music to reflect, restore and refresh, whether you鈥檙e enjoying the summer sunshine, doing a spot of gardening, or relaxing at home.

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

Today, Sarah is in Newcastle for an exciting weekend of 蜜芽传媒 Proms, and her choices include a glorious Magnificat by C.P.E. Bach, Mozart in a relaxed mood with a set of variations, and an orchestration by the founder of the Proms of a tempestuous Polish Dance.

She also has music for the summer season, including a Midsummer Vigil from Hugo Alfen, and a beautiful arrangement of Gershwin by American pianist Earl Wild.

This week鈥檚 Choral Reflection takes us to renaissance Italy to hear a joyful motet by Palestrina that depicts Mary being taken up to heaven as the angels rejoice.

Plus, we journey to tropical Java to watch a puppet show鈥�
