Sarah Walker chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning.

Today Mel Bonis is inspired by the vistas of Switzerland, Boulez finds poignancy in Mahler, and Jonas Kaufmann sings a beloved Puccini aria.

Sarah also shares music from pioneering French flautist and composer Philippe Gaubert, and vocal ensemble Alamire highlight the beauty of the Anne Boleyn songbook.

Plus, Eric Whitacre takes inspiration from a Rudyard Kipling poem.
