Today's Afternoon Performance continues the week's focus on Chopin, with a concert given as part of last year's Chopin and his Europe Festival. Howard Shelley directs the Sinfonia Varsovia and is the pianist in a piano concerto by Dobrzynski, one of Chopin's classmates at the Warsaw Conservatory. Then Jan Lisiecki joins the orchestra as soloist in music by Chopin himself; his Piano Concerto no.1. Plus a chance to hear incidental music by a composer who was very much influenced by Chopin, Debussy's Le Martyre de Saint-Sebastien.

Presented by Jonathan Swain.
