Sarah Walker with guest Marie-Louise Muir

Sarah Walker chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning. At 10.30am, Sarah's guest Marie-Louise Muir joins her for a monthly arts round-up.

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

Today鈥檚 programme explores the cinematic side of Japanese composer Toru Takemitsu in two very different pieces, while colourful acrobatics and moody harmonies are provided by Francis Poulenc in his piano concerto. There are two magnificent operatic outbursts, one from mezzo-soprano Sarah Connelly and the second from clarinettist Sebastian Manz and Sarah muses on why 20th-century pavanes come to life when they鈥檙e played (not too slowly)

At 10.30am Sarah invites arts and music broadcaster Marie-Louise Muir to join her for the Sunday Morning monthly arts roundup, focussing on five cultural happenings around the UK, from film, theatre and visual art, to dance and TV - including the rediscovery of a classic 大象传媒 Arts documentary available on iPlayer.
