Sarah Walker with an exhilarating musical mix

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

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

Sarah brightens the morning with a Brazilian dance arranged for flute and guitar, showcases the agile side of the bassoon with Mozart’s only concerto for the instrument, and finds melancholy in music by Faure, plus confidence and triumph in Rachmaninov’s 2nd Symphony.

She also rediscovers the first CD recording by the pianist Alexandra Dariescu – Schumann’s joyfully flamboyant Abegg Variations.
