Sarah Walker with an inspiring musical mix

Sarah Walker chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning, whether you鈥檙e going for a walk or preparing Sunday lunch.

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

Today, Sarah finds dancing woodwind in Ethel Smyth鈥檚 Serenade in D major and Franz Danzi鈥檚 Concertino, and the bold voices of bass-baritone Roderick Williams and mezzo-soprano Kitty Whately celebrate the English countryside in contrasting songs.

There are also two pieces which highlight the versatility of the keyboard - from the twists and turns of music for harpsichord by Girolamo Frescobaldi, to the transfixing and meditative Peace Piece by Bill Evans for piano.

Plus, who can resist a tango sung by the Swingle Singers?
