Listen to some of Frederic Chopin's greatest works in the beautiful candlelit setting of St. Mary-le-Strand, performed by the renowned concert pianist Warren Mailley-Smith.
The 18th-century church stands opposite Somerset House and is known as the 'Jewel in the Strand'. It was once surrounded by traffic but the area has recently been pedestrianised and turned into a peaceful sanctuary of gardens, trees and pavement cafes.
Concert pianist Warren Mailley-Smith
Famous for his love of Chopin, Warren Mailley-Smith was the first British pianist to perform all 233 of the maestro's works entirely from memory. He has featured regularly on the BBC and Classic FM, and has even performed for the Royal Family.
