Episode details

Expires on Tuesday 12:00pm
Sarah Walker with three hours of classical music to reflect, restore and refresh. Today Sarah embraces the season with a snowy orchestral suite, frosty writing for violin, and a take on Carlo Collodi's tale of Pinocchio. There’s a festive feel to the show, with a setting of little drummer boy, a Christmas song from Eastern Europe by Erno Dohnanyi, and peaceful music by John Tavener. And Sarah's Choral Reflection reflects upon the time of year too. Plus, a very English ride on a winter sleigh… A Tandem Production for BBC Radio 3
