Your perfect Sunday soundtrack

Sarah Walker with three hours of classical music to reflect, restore and refresh, whether you鈥檙e enjoying your morning brew or about to go out for a wintry walk.

Sarah Walker with three hours of classical music to reflect, restore and refresh.

Today Sarah鈥檚 selection includes a virtuosic concerto by Telemann, a piano concerto movement by Mozart that鈥檚 full of drama and darkness, and a sunny wind quintet by Franz Danzi.

There鈥檚 also music for the season with Delius depicting a winter night that鈥檚 warm and soft, cool, serene piano music from Elena Kats-Chernin and a cosy fairytale feel to a piece by Robert Schumann.

Plus, we take to the countryside with Beethoven鈥
