Sarah Walker chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning, whether you listen every Sunday or you鈥檙e catching up on your commute.

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

Today, Sarah blows off the cobwebs with George Gershwin鈥檚 sumptuous overture to the musical Oh, Kay! and finds poignant melodies in Amy Beach鈥檚 Piano Quintet in F sharp minor.

There鈥檚 also a bright and bouncy version of a famous Bach chorale in the hands of cellist Yo-Yo Ma, with Ton Koopman and members of the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra, and Carl Maria von Weber invites us to dance.

Plus, Sarah plays the song which has the only reference to Rotherham that she鈥檚 ever heard in music鈥
