Wladyslaw Szpilman playing Chopin on polish radio (1939)

on: December 20, 2004, 06:01:31 AM

Sorry I didn't know how to word the title.

You know just before the germans invaded poland in 1939, Wladyslaw Szpilman played Nocturne 20 on polish Radio, it was to be the last performance.

I want to know if the actual recording was infact recorded? IE Is it available to download?

Thx
