Sarah Walker with a refreshing musical mix

Sarah Walker chooses two hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning, whether you’re having a coffee or walking your dog.

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

Today, there's music with varied moods - unpredictability contrasts with peace and warmth in the writing of Margaret Rizza, while Mozart’s Piano Sonata in C minor combines light flowing passages with dark intense sonorities and intricate flourishes.

Sarah also discovers a surprise re-working of JS Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No.2 for three guitars, and John Taverner’s Christe Jesu creates a rich soundscape with just five voices.

Plus, the precise and energetic bowing of the Kronos Quartet highlights rhythmic counterpoint in a piece by Kevin Volans…
