Donald Macleod begins a week of programmes about the Polish composer by looking at some important events and encounters in Chopin's early life - among them a visit to Warsaw by the staggeringly virtuosic violinist, Nicoḷ Paganini. Each programme in this series features a historical performance by a great Chopin pianist of the past, starting with a 1949 recording of Alfred Cortot.
