Today's Afternoon Performance features highlights from the 2009 Chopin and his Europe Festival, including a rare chance to hear some of Chopin's songs perfomed by tenor Christophe Pregardien. The Orchestra of the 18th Century under Frans Bruggen perform Mendelssohn's complete incidental music for A Midsummer Night's Dream, and there's music from a composer who had a big influence on Chopin - Mozart. The National Polish Radio Symphony Orchestra conducted by Jerzy Semkow perform two of his symphonies, and Aimi Kobayashi is soloist in one of his most popular piano concertos.
