Sarah Walker with three hours of classical music to reflect, restore and refresh, whether you鈥檙e about to go out for a walk or enjoying your morning brew.
Sarah Walker with three hours of classical music to reflect, restore and refresh.
Today, Sarah looks forward to the imminent arrival of Spring with a violin sonata by Beethoven, and an overture by Dvorak that celebrates the great outdoors.
Sarah also enjoys the crisp elegance of Bach in a companionable flute sonata, finds excitement in the vibrant percussion of Gershwin鈥檚 Cuban Overture, and revels in the warmth of Respighi鈥檚 Tropical Night.
Plus, an arrangement of Johann Strauss, as you鈥檝e never heard him before鈥�
鈥nd we continue to feature 25 for 25: Sounds of the Century 鈥� the series of brand new commissions by 蜜芽传媒 Radio 3 which celebrate and commemorate some of the biggest events of the 21st century so far.
