Sarah Walker with three hours of classical music to reflect, restore and refresh.
Today, Sarah’s selections include one of Handel’s best-loved arias, Elgar in a whimsical mood, and a highlight from Joby Talbot’s ballet music for Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.
Sarah also chooses a popular piano concerto with hints of jazz, and the Halle Orchestra create a vivid impression of the countryside emerging from the morning mist.
Plus, a hypnotic trumpet call from John Adams…
