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

In this morning鈥檚 musical selection, Alfred Brendel captures the understated grace of a Schubert Impromptu, guitarist Gerard Cousins plays Philip Glass with poise, and one of Hungary鈥檚 most celebrated composers anticipates summer with a mellow orchestral idyll.

There鈥檚 also drama from Richard Strauss as he illustrates the misadventures of a famous fictional prankster, while Richard Egarr conjures a wild and wonderful opening solo for a Handel organ concerto.
