Presented by Petroc Trelawny

Tonight's concert was recorded last week in Minneapolis, and this leading American orchestra is joined by pianist Garrick Ohlsson, the first American to win Poland's International Chopin Competition. Here Ohlsson plays Chopin's meltingly beautiful Piano Concerto No.2 and reveals that his Chopin interpretations have only deepened in the years since that early triumph. And Music Director Osmo V脙陇nsk脙陇, acclaimed for his interpretations of Beethoven, Sibelius and many other composers, gives his first Minnesota performance of Mozart's late masterpiece, his Symphony No. 40, a touchstone of Western art.
