Sarah Walker with a sparkling musical mix

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 music that pictures a series of colourful scenes - from a fencing lesson and children lost in the woods to the magical tale of a Russian snow maiden.

And there are many gorgeous vocal sounds too, from the King鈥檚 Singers and the choirboys of St Thomas鈥檚 Church in Leipzig, to jazz singer Diana Krall, who gives the ultimate fireside Christmas tune the most laid back performance ever.

Sarah also reveals a bizarre early classical piece that could have been written yesterday: a vivid musical description of what went on at night in the streets of 17th-century Madrid.
