The intriguing historic city of Warsaw was home to Poland’s greatest piano player and composer, Frederic Chopin. We contrast the stark city of Warsaw with the beautiful country retreats where Chopin was born and baptized as a child, before finishing the episode in the southern city of Krakow, a city full of history and charm. The Australian Chamber Orchestra’s quartet performs the stunning Szymanowski’s String Quartet No. 2.
