Sarah Walker with an exhilarating 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 finds ballroom elegance in a symphony by Joseph Boulogne and spring energy in a sonata by Purcell that needs some skill to sound effortless鈥

Sarah also plays an even more challenging showpiece: Pablo de Sarasate鈥檚 Carmen Fantasy, and finds romance in a set of piano variations that Janacek dedicated to his future wife Zdenka.

Plus, medieval voices to soothe the soul鈥
