Sarah Walker with a glorious musical mix

Sarah Walker chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning, whether you鈥檙e having a lie-in or getting outside for a long walk

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

Today, Sarah plays a calming piece of chamber music by Barbara Thompson, and is absorbed by the translucent harmonies of Arvo P盲rt in a version of his piece Summa for choir.

She also finds a satisfying groove in the playing of jazz guitarist Jim Hall in Stomping鈥 at the Savoy, and rounds off the morning with some showstopping virtuosity from Andreas Ottensamer in Carl Maria von Weber鈥檚 Clarinet Concerto No.1.

Plus, Ravel manages to create the echoing acoustic of bells chiming across a valley with only a piano鈥
