Your perfect Sunday soundtrack

Sarah Walker with three hours of classical music to reflect, restore and refresh, whether you’re enjoying some morning sunshine, or brewing a coffee.

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

Today, Sarah discovers magical musical worlds - there’s the soft twinkling sound of Carl Nielsen’s Aladdin’s Dream, ambient shifting patterns on the piano in Debussy’s The Snow is Dancing, and a swirling waltz by Johann Strauss the second.

There’s also a violin sonata written by the nine year-old Mozart, during a visit to London, and composer Roxanna Panufnik time travels in her work for choir: Kyrie after Byrd.

Plus, a mysterious medieval piece with no name, or known composer…

Including ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio 3’s 25 for 25: Sounds of the Century – a series of brand new commissions celebrating and commemorating some of the biggest events of the 21st century so far. This week, it’s 2003, the year of the Biggest UK Peace Rally, honoured by a new work written by award winning musician Arowah: In this World of War, Peace is What We’re Fighting For.
