Tasmin Little introduces a selection of Radio 3 listeners' requests, which include vastly contrasting vocal styles from Russian-born soprano Jennie Tourel singing Offenbach, and the unmistakable wit and flamboyance of Noel Coward.

Plus a vintage performance of Schubert's Trout Quintet from the Amadeus String Quartet and pianist Clifford Curzon, and baritone Kevin Greenlaw explaining why the music of Samuel Barber is something he couldn't live without.
