A vibrant classical selection for Sunday

Linton Stephens chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning, whether you’re preparing for a picnic or curling up with a coffee on the couch.

Linton Stephens chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning.

Today, Linton features a colourful twist on some well-loved piano music by Eric Satie, there’s a powerful meditation from Margaret Bonds, and soprano Grace Davidson soars in music by Julie Cooper.

Linton also celebrates the music of British composer Dani Howard, and Mendelssohn transports us to Venice with the help of Daniel Barenboim.

Plus, one of Fauré’s most personal piano pieces
