An enticing classical Sunday mix

Sarah Walker chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning, whether you鈥檙e getting Sunday lunch ready or enjoying a late breakfast.

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

Sarah鈥檚 selections range from the sparkling clarity of Scarlatti in a performance from pianist Christian Zacharias, to a 1000 year old antiphon brought to life by the Armonico Consort. And while Alamire revel in Thomas Tallis鈥 intricate polyphony, Barbara Bonney demonstrates perfect control of a single vocal line in a sumptuous Schubert Lied.

There鈥檚 also rich tones and harmonies in a waltz from Brazilian composer Chiquinha Gonzaga, Emmanuel Pahud shines in a Mozart flute quartet, and we embark on orchestral adventures aplenty with contributions from Borodin and Bruckner.

Plus, a sharp-edged nocturnal concerto from Vivaldi is reworked for Milos Karadaglic鈥檚 guitar...
