Sarah Walker chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning and puts a musical spin on the season.

Sarah Walker chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning, and puts a musical spin on the season.

Sarah conjures up winter scenes with music by Debussy and Berlioz, and finds the plight of the snow hare illustrated in a haunting folk duet. Plus Vivaldi鈥檚 picture of winter as improvised by pianist Gabriela Montero.

There are plenty of moments of warmth too, in Beethoven鈥檚 second Romance for violin and orchestra, sweetly expressed by violinist Arthur Grumiaux, a dance from Delius鈥檚 North Country Sketches, and choral music for Advent by Judith Weir and Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina. Plus a little Henry Mancini and Thad Jones to add a jazzy element to the mix.
