This afternoon there's more from last year's 2009 Chopin and his Europe Festival; Emanuel Ax performs Chopin's Andante spianato and Grande Polonaise brillante. Schumann was another composer who was very influenced by Chopin, and today there's a chance to hear his magnum opus, the Scenes from Goethe's Faust performed by Dietrich Henschel with the Berlin Academy for Early Music.

Presented by Jonathan Swain.
