The virtuoso Belgian flautist Marc Grauwels presents a dazzling series of historic fantasies on themes from popular operas, including the 14-year-old Chopin’s Variations on ‘Non piu mesta’ from Rossini’s La Cenerentola, souvenirs of an age when the operatic fantasy reigned supreme in all its forms.
