Sarah Walker chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning including Dvorak, Mozart, Herschel, Rachmaninov, Vaughan Williams and Lili Boulanger.
Sarah Walker chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning.
Today, Sarah plays the Dumka from Dvorak’s Piano Quintet No. 2, performed with precision and passion by Boris Giltburg. She finds energy in the dancing voices of Mozart’s Regina Coeli, and seemingly simple harmonies provide satisfaction in a symphony by composer-cum-scientist William Herschel.
She also discovers an intriguing jazz spin on Rachmaninov’s Piano Concerto No.2, and enjoys Ralph Vaughan Williams’s take on a very familiar folk tune.
Plus, Lili Boulanger’s setting of an old Buddhist prayer combines a French musical style with meditative harmonies.
