Sarah Walker chooses two hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning.
Today, there’s a conversational sonata by 17th-century composer Giovanni Battista Fontana, the orchestral stormy waves of Felix Mendelssohn’s Hebrides Overture, and a choral song by Brahms that conjurs up the bittersweet emotions of autumn.
There’s also an Adagio by Beethoven in a sparkling arrangement, played by harpist Anneleen Lenaerts and mandolin player Avi Avital.
Plus, a track by James Oswald that evokes the fresh breeze of a Scottish summer…
