Going back to the Renaissance, Josquin des Prez (1450s – 1521) was born in either modern day Belgium or northeast France. Nymphes des Bois is a five-part vocal pieces, regarded as a lament for a former composer, Jehan Ockeghem.

Now one of the most famous Classical pieces, the Canon in D. To make this a little more interesting, I’ve chosen a version performed solely by brass instruments.

A great composer, and a great artist, Rubinstein’s version of Chopin’s (Poland 1810 – 1849) famous Nocturne Op 9 No 2.

Chopin left Poland when he was 20, and spend the rest of his short life in Paris. However, he requested that his heart be returned to Poland after his death, and it is today in the Church of the Holy Cross, in Warsaw.

Another famous artist, Chloe Chua, who is still under 20 [born in 2007]. Born in Singapore but currently based in Berlin, Chloe plays the third movement from Max Bruch’s (Germany 1838 – 1920) Violin Concerto No 1.
