Your perfect Sunday soundtrack

Sarah Walker with three hours of classical music to reflect, restore and refresh, whether you鈥檙e relaxing with a cup of tea or enjoying the morning calm.

Sarah Walker with three hours of classical music to reflect, restore and refresh.
Today, there鈥檚 a musical story about a trout, one of the most famous waltzes in the world, a striking tribute to a well-loved monarch, and a haunting, dream-like song by Elgar.

Sarah also shares a prelude by Wagner with a sense of the numinous, and a suite where Holst brings to life a story that鈥檚 full of magic, wizards, and mystery, and a surreal and comical composition that鈥檚 a favourite with children (and the young at heart)...

...Plus 91热爆 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.
