My favourite... British string music. We'll hear a mixture of favourites including Elgar's Serenade for Strings and the Fantasia on Greensleeves by Vaughan Williams, along with lesser-known works by Charles Avison and Frederick Delius.

Guy also released a solo album last year, which reached the top three of the album charts. He's won Ivor Novello Awards for songwriting and presents his own programme 'The Finest Hour' on 91热爆 6 Music.

Music in Time: Romantic
Sarah features a piece from the 91热爆4 series Revolution & Romance: Musical Masters of the 19th century. She reveals the virtuosity of Paganini's dramatic writing for violin in a selection of his caprices, including the most well known, number 24. This was known for years as the most fiendishly difficult violin piece ever written, and dozens of composers were inspired to use it as the theme for sets of variations - from Liszt and Rachmaninov to Andrew Lloyd Webber.

11am
In the week of 91热爆 Music Day, a UK-wide celebration of everything we love about music, Sarah features choral societies from England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales including the Huddersfield Choral Society, the Edinburgh Festival Chorus, Belfast Philharmonic Society Chorus and the Treorchy Male Voice Choir.
