Three hours of classical sparkle

Available for 29 days

This week, Sarah Walker sets out on a musical journey that moves from Baroque Verona to the wide open landscapes of Scotland - with a few reflective pauses along the way. There’s expressive piano music from Brahms, the magic of Bach played on the lute, and the lively finale from Dvořák’s American Quartet. Sarah also heads to Estonia for this week’s Choral Reflection, with hauntingly beautiful music by Cyrillus Kreek. Sarah will also swing by London’s Wigmore Hall for some Haydn from Denis Kozhukhin, before packing her musical passport for Scotland. Hamish MacCunn’s Land of the Mountain and the Flood sets the scene, with Mendelssohn’s Scottish Symphony as the morning’s centrepiece. Also, there’s a splash of colour from Madeleine Dring, and to round things off, Beethoven brings the sparkle with the finale of his First Piano Concerto. A Tandem Production for BBC Radio 3.
