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

Today, Sarah has some top-notch conductor and composer pairings - Wolfgang Sawallisch conducts Brahms, Sir Simon Rattle takes on Sibelius 5 and Daniel Barenboim brings us Faur茅.

This week鈥檚 choral reflection is a wonderful, classic recording of Allegri's Miserere, and there's also a terrific recording of Saint-Sa毛ns's Second Piano Concerto in full鈥�

Plus, an overture from George Gershwin which is bursting at the seams with hummable tunes...
