5/5. Donald Macleod concludes his look at 
Chopin's time at Nohant, the country retreat of his lover George Sand , where over seven summers toward the end of his life he composed much of his finest music. As his relationship with Sand finally comes apart at the seams, he produces his three final masterpieces: the Polonaise-Fantaisie, too modern even for Liszt's ears; the "undervalued masterpiece" that is his Cello Sonata; and perhaps his most influential work, the astonishing Barcarolle.

The BBC National Orchestra of Wales in Dvorak, Szymanowski and Beethoven.

Martin Handley presents the BBCNOW conducted by Walter Weller. Dvorak: The Noonday Witch. Szymanowski: Violin Concerto No 1 (Alina Ibragimova - violin). Beethoven: Symphony No 7.

Presented by Martin Handley.

In a concert given at the Brangwyn Hall in Swansea, the BBC National Orchestra of Wales play music by Dvorak and Beethoven, plus Szymanowski, in which they are joined by violinist Alina Ilbragimova.

The programme begins with Dvorak's eerie The Noonday Witch, followed by Szymanowski's intense and romantic First Violin Concerto, and then concluding with Beethoven's Symphony No 7. Few symphonies are more demonic in their energy and power than this work, which Wagner described as 'the apotheosis of the dance', though when Weber heard it, he thought Beethoven 'fit for the madhouse'.
