Sarah Walker chooses three hours of classical music to reflect, restore and refresh, whether you鈥檙e making breakfast, doing a spot of gardening or settling down with a crossword.

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

Today, Sarah shares an ancient Estampie, based on the music of the 12th century troubadour Raimbaut de Vaqueiras, and a work by Tchaikovsky written for a good cause.

She鈥檒l also feature the opening movement of Alice Mary Smith鈥檚 Symphony in C minor, and Mozart鈥檚 Clarinet Concerto featuring Martin Frost on the basset clarinet. And we鈥檒l hear one of Prokofiev鈥檚 most celebrated melodies, from the 2nd movement of his Violin Concerto No.2 in G minor.

Plus, Sarah looks forward to the summer with music from Rebecca Clarke...
