Three Hours of Classical Sparkle

Available for 28 days

Sarah Walker with three hours of classical music to reflect, restore and refresh, whether you’re busy tackling chores or having some down time after a busy week. Today’s Choral Reflection comes from the Choir of Merton College, Oxford and their conductor Benjamin Nicholas – John Tavener’s beautifully tender “Mother of God, Here I Stand”, taken from his epic 8-hour-long “The Veil of the Temple”. There’s also a chance to hear Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 9 "Jeunehomme" in full, from a hot-off-the-press, brand new recording by Canadian star pianist Jan Lisiecki, with the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra and Manfred Honeck. Also, Sarah’s Sunday Sequence will weave together - among other things - candle-making, the River Thames and a reluctant nun… tune in to find out how! A Tandem Production for BBC Radio 3.
