Production details
Ever since winning the 1975 Chopin Competition in Warsaw aged only 18, the great Polish pianist Krystian Zimerman has held a special place among the world’s finest interpreters of Chopin. There is some discrepancy over the actual date on which Chopin was born so tonight, the first of two special Chopin birthday concerts, provides a rare opportunity to hear this revered and dazzling artist play the composer’s ‘Funeral March’ Sonata in B flat minor and the mighty Third Sonata in B minor side by side.
