Sarah Walker with a rousing 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.

Today Sarah takes us on a virtual country walk with Delius, and summons up the call of a goldfinch with a celebrated flute concerto by Vivaldi.

She also discovers a piece by Cecile Chaminade that sounds modern despite being over a century old, and enjoys the near-chaos of the Dufay Collective鈥檚 percussion in a very catchy 14th-century Italian dance.

Plus, there鈥檚 an energising overture that sounds as though it could be Richard Strauss (but isn鈥檛), and a powerful solo recording by the American gospel singer Mahalia Jackson.
