With Sarah Walker. This week recordings from Willi Boskovsky, music for amateurs to play and for people to learn about classical music, plus the next sonata in our Beethoven piano cycle: Sonata in D, Op.28.

Willi Boskovsky was best known as conductor of Vienna's famous New Year's Day Concerts - a role he took over in 1954 and continued to perform till his retirement in 1979.

All this week on Classical Collection, Sarah presents a selection of Willi Boskovsky's finest recordings, today including Johann Strauss II's Neue Pizzicato Polka played by the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. Some of the best players in the Vienna Phil got together under Boskovsky's leadership to play chamber music. Today we hear a beautifully judged performance of Mozart's Divertimento in D, K334.
