Three Hours of Classical Sparkle

Join Petroc Trelawny for three hours of classical masterpieces, the perfect start to your Sunday.

Petroc Trelawny brings you three hours of classical music to reflect, restore, and refresh.

On today's show, Petroc has treats aplenty for your Sunday morning, including orchestral gems, magical piano music and a choral reflection to mark Palm Sunday by the Italian composer Felice Anerio.

The complete set of Brahms symphonies by Yannick Nezet-Seguin and the Chamber Orchestra of Europe was released in 2024 to rave reviews; we'll hear the meaty first movement of Symphony No.2.

Also, Petroc's Sunday Sequence has a distinctly regal feel to it.
