Sarah Walker with two hours of classical music to reflect, restore and refresh.

Sarah鈥檚 selections include some foot tapping favourites from Dmitri Kabalevsky鈥檚 overture to Colas Breugnon and ballet music from Cinderella by Prokofiev as well as meditative music to extend your horizons from composers including Ina Boyle, Jasmine Reuter and David Lang.

There鈥檒l also be baroque ceremonial marching music, a tune from the 16th century in the hands of Gustav Holst and a masterpiece by Mozart for clarinet and strings.

Plus, pianist Alexandre Tharaud plays Fran莽ois Couperin's hypnotic and mysterious piece Le dodo ou l'amour au berceau - which is not about an extinct bird, rather a musical depiction of the celestial hand that rocks the cradle鈥�
