Sarah Walker with a kaleidoscopic musical mix
Sarah Walker chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning, whether you’re having brunch with family or brewing a coffee.
Sarah Walker chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning.
Today, there’s Haydn at his most comical in an opera about space, written almost 200 years before the moon landing, and the Unthanks bring us back to earth with Peter Bellamy’s song Oak, Ash and Thorn.
Sarah also plays a piece by Hildegard von Bingen which uses one of the composer’s invented words as its title: Ispariz, meaning spirit. And two composers explore the possibilities of sonority and vibration - Kenneth Alwyn on the piano, and Vincenzo Galilei on the lute.
Plus, Sarah finds lively and rhythmic choral music to energise you for the day ahead…
