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

Today, Sarah enjoys some shimmering delights for chilly dark days, with a traditional Advent carol sung by The Sixteen and the twinkling orchestral colours of Johan Svendsen’s Norwegian Rhapsody.

She also plays some plaintive piano ballads by Brahms to ease us into the morning, and a piano nocturne by Teresa Carreño looks back on a childhood in Caracas.

Plus, a Gregorian Christmas musical mystery…
