Your perfect Sunday soundtrack

Sarah Walker with three hours of classical music to reflect, restore and refresh, whether you鈥檙e organising a summer barbecue or enjoying a quiet coffee.

Sarah Walker with three hours of classical music to reflect, restore and refresh.

Sarah鈥檚 selections include spine tingling choral harmonies from British composer Donna McKevitt, the deep tones of the chitarrone played by Stephen Stubbs and the luscious slow movement of a concerto by Brazilian composer Francisco Mignone.

And while the London Symphony Orchestra celebrates Mendelsohn鈥檚 impressions of the Scottish landscape, Rossini brings a medieval legend to the stage.

Plus, harpist Floraleda Sacchi finds beauty in an unlikely source鈥
