Sarah Walker with a vibrant musical mix

Sarah Walker chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning, whether you鈥檙e enjoying breakfast outside or having a lie-in.

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

Today, there鈥檚 orchestral luminosity in Brahms鈥檚 Second Symphony, the sound of the piano effortlessly twinkles above rich orchestration in Chopin鈥檚 鈥楰rakowiak鈥, and a harmonica and guitar are in sync in a track called 鈥楤lackthorn鈥.

There鈥檚 also a string arrangement of Joanna Marsh鈥檚 鈥業n Winter鈥檚 House鈥 which is perfect to escape the summer heat with its meditative shifting harmonies, and mezzo-soprano Angelika Kirschlager deftly articulates the lilting phrasing in Schubert鈥檚 song 鈥楽eligkeit鈥.

Plus, spine-tingling choral music by Frank Bridge鈥
