Three Hours of Classical Sparkle

Sarah Walker chooses uplifting music to complement your morning, whether you’re enjoying a quiet coffee, preparing for Sunday lunch or heading into the outdoors.

This week Sarah has a mixture of orchestral gems, delicate piano music and luscious choral textures to enliven your day. Her Sunday Sequence is on a humorous tip to reflect the fact that it is World Laughter Day – can you guess what she’s going to include? And there's also a chance to hear from a fabulous complete recording of Beethoven’s First Symphony.

Also, Sarah's choral reflection takes us to the skies with Charles Villiers Stanford's most beloved partsong, “The Blue Bird”.
