Rafał Blechacz — Pianist

Program notes

In his recital at the 2008 Verbier Festival, the young Polish pianist Rafał Blechacz performs Bach, Liszt, and Chopin with delicacy and virtuosity.

At only 23 years old, Rafał Blechacz is a revelation among of the younger generation: he won the first prize and all of the special prizes at Warsaw’s 2005 Frédéric Chopin International Piano Competition, a victory that propelled him onto the world’s most prestigious stages (London’s Wigmore Hall, Vienna’s Konzerthaus, New York’s Avery Fisher Hall, Milan’s La Scala, and Tokyo’s Suntory Hall among them).

A poet in his phrasing, a magician in his performances marked by an incredible technical mastery of his demanding music, Rafał Blechacz presents a very personal interpretation of Liszt’s Études and Chopin’s Mazurkas and Sonata No.3, Op. 58.
