Sarah Walker chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning.
Today, Sarah celebrates the joy of music making with JS Bach’s uplifting and energising double violin concerto, and finds spirited, bombastic orchestral writing in William Schuman’s American Festival Overture.
There’s also the peaceful lilt of Franghiz Ali-Zadeh’s ‘Fantasie’ for solo guitar, and the scherzo from Louise Farrenc’s Piano Quintet No.1 shows her writing at its most virtuosic.
Plus, Sarah explores Arthur Sullivan’s ‘Irish’ symphony, written when he was 21 years old...
