Sarah Walker with an invigorating musical mix

Sarah Walker chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning, whether you鈥檙e pottering around the garden or reading a newspaper.

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

Today, Sarah shares a pair of dances by Bach which remind her of clockwork toys, a glorious symphonic finale by Mendelssohn, and a tone poem by William Alwyn inspired by the top of a Surrey hill.

There is also a piece Mozart probably wrote for himself to perform with his sister Nannerl, a brand-new recording of Ravel鈥檚 most famous piece, and a thrilling overture by Zden臎k Fibich full of drama and peril.

Plus, Sarah takes a trip down memory lane to her first music festival with a song which has stayed with her ever since鈥
