Sarah Walker with an exhilarating musical mix

Sarah Walker chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning and puts a musical spin on events.

Sarah Walker chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning, and puts a musical spin on events.

There are pairs of all sorts on show today: pairs of hands at the piano enjoying the fun created by Percy Grainger, pairs of violins playing sensual lines by Handel and a pair of intriguing medieval musicians that have Sarah disappearing down - as she calls it - the internet rabbit hole.

Sarah also contrasts a tiny symphony by William Boyce with an expansive orchestral characterisation by Sergei Prokofiev. She plays traditional Syrian music by way of Lancaster and hears the richness of Rachmaninov unroll as pianist Daniil Trifonov joins forces with the Philadelphia Orchestra and conductor Yannick Nézet-Séguin.
