This week Sarah presents '5 reasons to love... the French flute school'. A hugely influential figure in the school was Claude-Paul Taffanel, a fine player who also taught at the Paris Conservatoire. Taffanel created huge enthusiasm for the flute in 19th-century Paris and as a result many pieces were written for him and his followers. Throughout the week Sarah showcases some favourite flute works from this time, including music by Faur茅, Gaubert, Enescu, Debussy, and Taffanel himself.

Billed as a rock star of the comedy world, Robert has also had a successful career as a novelist and journalist, as well as being a political activist. Known for comedy with a social conscience, Robert is currently touring with The Brain Show. He will be sharing a selection of his favourite classical music, every day at 10am.
