Wednesday - Sarah Walker with Robert Newman
With Sarah Walker. Including Five Reasons to Love the French Flute School; Artist of the Week: Stephen Kovacevich, featured in Schubert's Piano Sonata in A, D959.
9am
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.
