Sarah Walker chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning, whether you’re hunkering down with a hot drink or enjoying the bright January skies.
Sarah Walker chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning.

Sarah also finds fascinating ambiguity in the voice of Joni Mitchell singing Gershwin’s song The Man I Love, and plays a 15th-century piece for choir that sounds like it could have been written just yesterday.
Plus, the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra summons up a ‘Happy Forest’...
