Sarah Walker with an inviting 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 discovers Zolt谩n Kod谩ly conjuring up an ancient image of fairyland, finds beautiful sonorities in Bach鈥檚 鈥淎ctus Tragicus鈥 Cantata, and enjoys the musical colour that Debussy creates in his flamboyant Rapsodie for saxophone and orchestra. She also lines up a Victorian nursery rhyme that became a massive breakthrough hit for the young Ella Fitzgerald.

Plus, the Danish String Quartet play their intriguing version of a traditional song which asks 鈥淲here were you last night, so late鈥?鈥
