Sarah Walker with an energising musical mix

Sarah Walker chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning, whether you鈥檙e cooking brunch or catching up on some work.

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

Today, there鈥檚 a jolly piece for wind by Charles Gounod that鈥檚 full of syncopation, exhilarating choral music by Galina Grigorjeva, and Vikingur Olafsson explores all the sonic possibilities on the piano in a sarabande by Debussy.

Sarah also plays Paul Dukas鈥檚 鈥楾he Sorcerer鈥檚 Apprentice,鈥 which many people will know from its famous appearance in Disney's Fantasia, and there鈥檚 a fresh take on Led Zeppelin's 鈥楪oing to California鈥 for lute and harp.

Plus, Bach鈥檚 Brandenburg Concerto no.4 is played in its full earthy glory by the English Baroque Soloists鈥
