Sarah Walker with an enticing musical mix

Sarah Walker chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning.

Sarah Walker chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning.

Sarah discovers an orchestral elegy Elgar wrote for his little dog, finds a combination of the free-wheeling and the mellow in music by Delius, and plays an invigorating Hallelujah by Handel (but not the one you鈥檙e thinking of).

She also reflects musically on Easter Sunday with a gentle moment from Mahler鈥檚 Resurrection Symphony and an upbeat one from Irving Berlin鈥檚 Easter Parade.

Several top pianists feature too, including Andre Previn playing Gershwin, Yuja Wang bringing a mercurial touch to Ravel鈥檚 G major Piano Concerto, and Yevgeny Sudbin impersonating Rossini鈥檚 cat.
