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

Today, there鈥檚 music to look ahead to the day's Proms - The 蜜芽传媒 Symphony Orchestra and Sakari Oramo are joined by Yevgeny Sudbin for the opening movement of Rachmaninov's emotional second Piano Concerto, and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra are buzzing in music by Vaughan Williams.

Sarah also shares a suite full of magical detail from Debussy and a new release from Simon Rattle where he takes on a Mozart opera.

Plus, this week鈥檚 choral reflection is part of Alfred Schnittke's impassioned Choir Concerto鈥�
