Sarah Walker with an energising musical mix
Sarah Walker chooses two hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning, including Handel, Prokofiev, Elgar, Barber, JS Bach and Nina Simone.
Sarah Walker chooses two hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning.
Sarah showcases the elegant playing of harpist Marisa Robles in a concerto by Handel, the verve of two pianists performing a famous gavotte by Prokofiev and the emotional power conjured up by Sir Georg Solti in Elgar’s vivid orchestral poem ‘In the South’.
She also rediscovers a set of 20th-century ‘madrigals’ by Samuel Barber, and finds another way to present the music of JS Bach - a Brandenburg Concerto movement played on cello, drone and tabla.
Plus, is marriage really ‘for old folks’? According to Nina Simone - yes!
