Three hours of classical sparkle

Sunday Morning

Available for 11 days

Sarah Walker with three hours of classical music to reflect, restore and refresh. Today, Sarah chooses an efferverscent piano concerto movement from Emilie Mayer, and a favourite recording of the expansive opening of Beethoven's Eroica Symphony. This week's Choral Reflection features British composer Kerensa Briggs, and there's also a chance to hear from a new recording of Erich Korngold's lush Violin Concerto. Plus, Vivaldi, Schubert, and a colourful arrangement of a late Debussy masterpiece… A Tandem Production for BBC Radio 3
