After two consecutive weeks of guests, we're back to just you and I this week, as we get back to the usual shite-talking you've come to expect. I'll be analysing the three most commercially successful flute players of all time, and how there only ever seems to be space for one flute superstar at a time. From the 1940s to modern day, Jean-Pierre Rampal, Sir James Galway and Emmanuel Pahud have dominated the flute scene. I look at what stood them apart from their contemporaries, as well as what common themes between them shot them to superstardom (despite being artistically very different.) The chapters of the episode are down below if you want to see what's on the menu for today.
