Three Hours of Classical Sparkle

Sarah Walker with three hours of classical music to reflect, restore and refresh, whether you’re busy tackling chores or having some down time after a busy week.

Today’s Choral Reflection comes from the Choir of Merton College, Oxford and their conductor Benjamin Nicholas – John Tavener’s beautifully tender “Mother of God, Here I Stand”, taken from his epic 8-hour-long “The Veil of the Temple”.

There’s also a chance to hear Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 9 "Jeunehomme" in full, from a hot-off-the-press, brand new recording by Canadian star pianist Jack Lisiecki, with the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra and Manfred Honeck.

Also, Sarah’s Sunday Sequence will weave together - among other things - candle-making, the River Thames and a reluctant nun… tune in to find out how!
