One listener's favourite piece of Chopin is amongst this week's selection of requests: his piano concerto No 2 in Fm, in a brilliant performance by Martha Argerich.
Also, Chausson's popular Poeme in a transcription for violin and piano; the sacred cantata Christus, der ist mein Leben by the 17th century German composer Johann Schelle; and highlights from Arturo Toscanini's memorable 1947 recording of Verdi's Otello.
