A restorative dose of the best classical music
Sarah Walker with three hours of classical music to reflect, restore and refresh whether you’re out for a bracing walk or keeping cosy at home.
Join Sarah Walker for three hours of soulful classical music, perfect for your Sunday. St Cecilia’s Day is celebrated every year on 22nd November to honour the patron saint of music and musicians. and Sarah has a special Sunday Sequence today to mark the occasion, including Benjamin Britten's “A Hymn to St Cecilia”.
This week's choral reflection features an intimate sacred motet by Giovanni Gabrieli – his 1597 setting of “O Jesu mi dulcissime”, in a critically acclaimed recording by Ex Cathedra and Jeffery Skidmore. And Sarah also provides the perfect opportunity for you to pause in your morning activities, as she plays Beethoven’s Symphony No.8 in full.
