Andreas Staier plays Chopin, Bach and Mozart at Warsaw's Chopin and his Europe Festival.
Played on an 1849 Erard piano of Chopin's era, Andreas Staier's recital gives us an insight into how the music of the past might have been heard by Chopin and his contemporaries. Today the focus is on the dance-based music that inspired Chopin, who revered J S Bach above all composers, save Mozart. 
Presented by Sarah Walker.
