Sarah Walker with a far-reaching musical mix

Sarah Walker chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning, including works by Holst, Pejačević and Liszt.

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

A jaunty scherzo from Russia, a Latvian meditation for violin and orchestra, and Peruvian music (both real and imagined), all feature among Sarah’s choices today.

There’s also a suite based on Gustav Holst’s interpretation of some whistled Japanese tunes and a miniature piano piece by the Croatian composer Dora Pejačević.

Plus a jitterbug waltz, a bear dance, and Franz Liszt's dramatic depiction of Prometheus.
