Sarah Walker with an energising musical mix

Sarah Walker chooses two and a half hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning, whether you’re cosying up with a coffee or enjoying some time outdoors.

Sarah Walker chooses two and a half hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning.

Today, Sarah plays some breezy folk tunes - from a fiddler tuning up for a fair in Hamilton Harty’s bubbling Irish Symphony, to a Czech folk song given new life by Dvorak, and Vaughan Williams’s Norfolk Rhapsody.

She also heads to the old kingdom of Bactria with composer Jean Philippe Rameau, and into the streets of ancient Venice with Giovanni Gabrieli.

Plus, Germaine Tailleferre’s ‘fugue of the umbrella’ reminds Sarah of Renoir’s famous painting…
