Sarah Walker with an invigorating musical mix

Sarah Walker chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning, whether you’re preparing for a summer picnic or having a cup of tea in bed.

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

Sarah begins with an uplifting performance of one of Mendelssohn’s Songs without Words arranged for violin and piano, and plays an immersive choral work by organist Anna Lapwood: O Nata Lux.

She also finds melancholy in a song about mining by Ewan McColl, and pianist Mikhail Pletnev plays a Scriabin prelude with an air of mystery, and a delicate touch.

Plus, Liszt’s symphonic poem Orpheus takes us on a dreamlike musical journey…
