Sarah Walker with a sparkling musical mix

Sarah Walker chooses two hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning, whether you’re walking your dog, or relaxing in the garden.

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…
