Sarah Walker with an intriguing musical mix

Sarah Walker chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning, including works by Becky McGlade, Beethoven, Fanny Mendelssohn and Jenny Sturgeon.

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

Sarah eases into the day with the harmonic ebbs and flows of ‘My song of love unknown’ by Becky McGlade, enjoys the witty musical conversations in the overture to Beethoven’s comic opera Beatrice and Benedict, and finds adventurous harmonies filtering into Fanny Mendelssohn’s String Quartet in E flat major.

Plus, Jenny Sturgeon’s ‘Frost and Snow’ takes us to the Cairngorm mountains with field recordings, lilting instrumentals and words inspired by the Scottish writer Nan Shepherd.
