Three Hours of Classical Sparkle

Join Sarah Walker for a glorious musical mix, perfect for your Sunday - from vibrant baroque gems to lush orchestral depictions of the English countryside.

This week, Sarah Walker's playlist takes us from the wilds of Suffolk's Orford Ness, to the North of Scotland and out to see the wonders of the Solar System.

This week’s Choral Reflection features Michael Tippett's emotional setting of the 5 Spirituals from his Oratorio A Child of Our Time, sung by the Finzi Singers, and there’s also music by Ravel and Respighi, a sparkling recording of the Overture to Mozart's Magic Flute, and a chance to hear a stunning recording by the LA Philharmonic of Dvorak's sunny 8th Symphony in full.

Also, Sarah's Sunday Sequence for this week pays tribute to a national treasure...
