Your perfect Sunday soundtrack

Sarah Walker with three hours of classical music to reflect, restore and refresh, whether you鈥檙e enjoying some morning sunshine, or brewing a coffee.

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

Today, Sarah discovers magical musical worlds - there鈥檚 the soft twinkling sound of Carl Nielsen鈥檚 Aladdin鈥檚 Dream, ambient shifting patterns on the piano in Debussy鈥檚 The Snow is Dancing, and a swirling waltz by Johann Strauss the second.

There鈥檚 also a violin sonata written by the nine year-old Mozart, during a visit to London, and composer Roxanna Panufnik time travels in her work for choir: Kyrie after Byrd.

Plus, a mysterious medieval piece with no name, or known composer鈥�

Including 成人快手 Radio 3鈥檚 25 for 25: Sounds of the Century 鈥� a series of brand new commissions celebrating and commemorating some of the biggest events of the 21st century so far. This week, it鈥檚 2003, the year of the Biggest UK Peace Rally, honoured by a new work written by award winning musician Arowah: In this World of War, Peace is What We鈥檙e Fighting For.
