A refreshing classical Sunday selection

Sarah Walker chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning, whether you鈥檙e walking the dog or solving a crossword.

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

This morning Sarah finds powerful energy in an anthem from Hubert Parry, a skilful recording from Hania Rani touches the heart strings while softly capturing the inner mechanics of the piano, and the Lahti Symphony Orchestra bring a vivacious spirit to Jean Sibelius鈥 most famous tone poem.

The morning also brings two landscapes into full orchestral colour; while V铆t臎zslav Nov谩k takes inspiration from the mountain range bordering Poland and Slovakia, Ida Moberg conjures the sweeping vistas of Finland.

Plus, Andre Previn takes on Gerhswin鈥檚 most famous Rhapsody鈥.
