Pianist Krystian Zimerman moves with impressive and personal piano performances.
‘A memorable Beethoven evening', 'the alpha and omega of Schubert'. Reviewers usually struggle to find superlatives to describe Krystian Zimerman’s rare solo recitals. The Polish pianist has become a legend and is considered one of the greatest living pianists. The mythical range of his recitals begins with the instrument itself. Zimerman has prepared his Steinway grand piano so meticulously that he only wants to play on his own instrument. Just as a violinist takes their own violin with them, Zimerman travels with his own grand piano. His connection to his repertoire is equally unique. The three composers featured occupy a special place in his solo discography as well as in his entire musical practice. He sheds new light on beloved works by Chopin and Debussy, while unearthing still unknown gems by Szymanowski. This concert promises to be a very personal encounter with the enigmatic world of this piano giant.
