Sarah Walker with three hours of classical music to reflect, restore and refresh.
Today Sarah’s choices include uplifting music from Bach, Brahms and Borodin, lyrical melodies from Schubert, Mozart and Grieg, as well as a smoky and sensual tango by Astor Piazzolla. Something to enjoy over a nice cup of coffee.

Plus, Tchaikovsky dreams of winter…
