Description:
Chopin’s Piano Concerto in F-minor is the product of a genius 19 year old, and while he called it a piano concerto, it's actually a love song to Poland. For tonight’s SymphonyCast, superstar Emanuel Ax talks about and shows with his amazing fingers why this concerto is special for pianists around the world.
