Sarah Walker with a kaleidoscopic 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 many contrasting musical colours, from serene Russian choral music to Gershwin played on punchy brass and mesmeric overlapping strings in an arrangement of a string quartet by Philip Glass.

She also features the legendary storytelling of folk singer Martin Carthy, and there鈥檚 joy in solo instruments too - Alban Gerhardt plays a movement from a cello suite by Max Reger, and Benjamin Grosvener finds both delicate sonorities and strong percussive textures on the piano in Chopin.
