Sunday Morning

Sarah Walker's playlist takes in gardens, forests and wide open landscapes, with music inspired by the natural world and the changing seasons. There is French elegance from Mel Bonis, Beethoven's much-loved Pastoral Symphony and Percy Grainger's irrepressible Country Gardens. Sarah also heads to Renaissance Italy for this week's Choral Reflection, with a motet by Palestrina sung by choral ensemble the Tallis Scholars. Plus, Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 23, Rimsky-Korsakov's Flight of the Bumblebee and Tchaikovsky's richly melodic Little Russian symphony. Plus, Sibelius ventures deep into the shadowy world of Finnish legend with music from the Lemminkäinen Suite.
