Sarah Walker with a stirring musical mix

Sarah Walker chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning, whether you're preparing an Easter lunch or enjoying the April sun.

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

Today Sarah plays Howells’s Saraband for organ (‘for the Morning of Easter’), and Telemann’s Easter Oratorio welcomes the day with fanfares, flowing string passages and declamations.

Sarah also finds pianistic brilliance and expression in the cascading lines of Helene de Montgeroult’s Etude No.62, and there’s beauty in the building tension and release of a Haydn String Quartet.

Plus, Anne Sofie von Otter’s voice transports us away from worldly concerns…
