Sarah Walker's Sunday Escape is a piece to take people away from the travails of daily life, Gerald Finzi's Severn Rhapsody.

This week Sarah Walker's Sunday Escape, a piece to take us away from the travails of daily life, is Gerald Finzi's Severn Rhapsody, and she also includes a range of English music ranging from 15th century lyrics to John Blow's restoration opera "Venus and Adonis", via John Ireland's Sea Idyll and an up-to-the-minute work by Jonathan Dove. As well as Mendelssohn's take on the Western Isles in his Hebrides Overture, the other focus today is on Saint-Sa毛ns, including Jaqueline du Pr茅's famous recording of his First Cello Concerto.
