Your perfect Sunday soundtrack

Sarah Walker with three hours of classical music to reflect, restore and refresh, whether you鈥檙e putting up the Christmas tree or planning a late autumn walk.

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

Today some of Sarah鈥檚 choices have a festive flavour, including an Advent favourite by Lauridsen, a song with a flute solo suggesting the winding road to Bethlehem, and a journey on a three-horse sled depicted by Prokofiev.

There鈥檚 also a heart-warming arrangement of the Largo from Dvorak鈥檚 New World Symphony, Brahms sounds brooding yet uplifting, and Piazzolla at his most romantic.

Plus, a piece where the violin is really allowed to growl鈥�
