Sarah Walker with an invigorating musical mix

Sarah Walker chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning, whether you’re pottering around the house or packing for a trip away.

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

Today, the distinctive sound of Giovanni Gabrieli’s music should keep you on your toes, there's a languorous violin sonata by Bach to relax to, and a children's song by Grieg sung by the Norwegian Soloists Choir is beautifully moulded by conductor Grete Pedersen-Helgerod.

There are also velvety clarinet sounds in the hands of Dieter Klöcker, and a rarely heard Rossini overture.

Plus, a Habanera that might just have you singing along…
