Extractions: Krystian Zimerman comes from a family with rich music-making traditions. Musicians would meet almost daily in his home to play various works, mostly chamber music. These performances afforded Zimerman a most intimate, natural, everyday contact with live music and provided an early impetus to his musical preoccupations. Naturally, he made his first steps in music under his father's supervision. At the age of seven he started working systematically with Andrzej Jasiñski, then a senior lecturer at the music conservatoire in Katowice. This tutorship was crowned by Zimerman's graduation, fourteen years later, from the Music Academy in Katowice. For Zimerman, who has always expressed the opinion that a day without learning is a day lost, the diploma could not mean the end of education. His close relationship with Prof. Jasiñski has in the course of many years developed into a lasting friendship. Zimerman had no zest for contests, but he followed the common way of musical development for concert pianists, which brought him the highest prizes at several prestigious competitions - devoted to Russian and Polish music, as well as the works of particular composers - Prokofiev, Beethoven. There followed the Grand Prix at the Chopin Competition of 1975, which paved the way for performances in concert halls worldwide.

Extractions: Homeowners: Apply to refinance even with imperfect credit Born in 1956 in Zabrze, Poland, Krystian Zimerman began playing the piano at the age of five; he later studied with Andrei Jasinski at the Music Conservatory in Katowice. He embarked upon his international career after winning the 1975 Warsaw Chopin Competition. Soon thereafter Krystian Zimerman made debut appearances in many European countries and also traveled to Paris to meet Artur Rubinstein. His Salzburg Festival debut in 1977 was followed by tours in Japan in 1978 and the U.S. in 1979. In 1980 he appeared at the Lucerne Festival and the Salzburg Whitsun Concerts together with Herbert von Karajan. Krystian Zimerman does not regard his greatest achievement as his prize-winning performances at international competitions but rather that he manages to devote a period of time each season to the learning of new repertoire. Each year he adds one or more concertos, chamber works and many solo pieces to his repertory. In addition to around 50 concert appearances per year, Krystian Zimerman also gives chamber-music performances and master classes. The pianist dedicates up to twelve of his concerts each year to charitable purposes. In 1996 he took up a teaching position at Basle's Academy of Music. Krystian Zimerman signed his first exclusive contract with DEUTSCHE GRAMMOPHON in 1976.

"He tore into the music with a rhapsodic fervor that was at once thrilling and terrifying." This brilliant Polish pianist safeguards his intense enthusiasm for performance by limiting his annual concert appearances — making any chance to hear him in recital a rare, not-to-be-missed event.

Extractions: of the Beethoven Concertos 3-5 When pianist Krystian Zimerman goes on a North-American concert tour, don't expect to hear him just anywhere. On this year's tour, he made it to all of three cities: Chicago, Toronto and New York. Though the pianist, who turned 40 on December 7, 1996, could fill concert halls in every major city, he simply prefers to limit the number of his performances to about 50 per year. Mr. Zimerman who, according to The New York Times, is "considered one of the most remarkable pianists of his generation", has many other interests which keep him from overextending himself. Fluent in several languages, knowledgeable in history and aesthetics as well as in science and acoustics, he radiates an air of scholarliness and gentility. Yet this is the pianist Leonard Bernstein chose in the late 1980s to be the soloist in his cycle of Beethoven piano concertos with the Vienna Philharmonic. Intended to conclude his Beethoven orchestral cycle, it was scheduled to be recorded by Unitel and Deutsche Grammophon. One might have expected a more extroverted soloist, but not a young pianist called a "meticulous, sometimes studied aristocrat" ("Classic CD" in a review of the concertos).
Extractions: To honor the 100th anniversary of the death of Johannes Brahms, Classica is presenting the master's symphonic oeuvre performed by the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra under the direction of Leonard Bernstein. The cycle will be aired in four sections covering a period of four weeks beginning in May 1997.

Extractions: The Guardian At his best Krystian Zimerman has no peers among the pianists of today. His Festival Hall recital on Monday was one of those special occasions. The programme sandwiched Beethoven's penultimate sonata, Op 110 in A flat, between two works by Brahms, the six Piano Pieces of Op 118 and the massive F minor Piano Sonata, which was a late substitution for the originally announced second half of Ravel, Scriabin and Godowsky. Zimerman is such a master colourist that one would have loved to hear him in those later works, but his account of the Brahms sonata very quickly erased those thoughts. It was a performance conceived on the most expansive scale - from the grandeur in the first movement, through the high spirits of the scherzo and the menacing introspection of the intermezzo to the assertiveness of the finale - yet one in which every detail had point and eloquence, in which phrasing was perfectly judged and utterly natural. The Brahms pieces that opened the recital may mostly be miniatures, but Zimerman's treatment of them encapsulated whole worlds of feeling: delicate, unadorned lyricism in the opening A minor Intermezzo; inconsolable loneliness in the last, in E flat. And though he launched the Beethoven sonata at a speed that momentarily seemed too fast, nothing was rushed, nothing overlooked, and every voice in the final fugue had its own character and colour.

About Us
Welcome To The Pittsburgh Symphony Website honorable dedication of his Piano Concerto to krystian zimerman inspired the pianist to a similar treatment of that work http://www.pittsburghsymphony.org/pghsymph.nsf/bios/krystian+zimerman
Extractions: The 25 years of Mr. Zimerman's artistic activity have been marked by regular meetings with his own dedicated audiences, which ardently look forward to every concert. Wherever his concert tours take him, in the music centers of Europe, Asia and America, he always recognizes familiar faces. During the last 10 seasons, since he has resolved to travel with his own concert piano, he has managed to accustom his audience and concert organizers to this unusual and only seemingly inconvenient gear. Mr. Zimerman has applied several technical inventions of his own which have made it possible for him, as for other musicians, to take his instrument along on tours. The confidence afforded by his own thoroughly familiar instrument, combined with his piano-building expertisefirst acquired in Katowice and developed through permanent cooperation with the Steinway Company in Hamburgallows him to eliminate, or reduce to the absolute minimum, everything that might distract him from purely musical issues. Mr. Zimerman's comparatively early acquaintance with the main developments of European musicerman, Russian, French and othersprecluded him from becoming a "Chopin specialist." Instead, it stirred in him the ambition, which he has achieved in the last 10 years, of performing music in the place and culture of its origin: French works in Paris; Beethoven, Mozart and Schubert in Vienna; Brahms in Hamburg; American music played in New York and, in one notable instance, conducted by the composer himselfLeonard Bernstein. "If I were an actor," he argues, "I would also set myself the aim of performing Shakespeare in London and Chekhov in Russia."
Krystian Zimerman: Music For Piano And Orchestra By Franz Liszt krystian zimerman's reading and execution of the Danse Macabre is as spinechillingas it is are all elements vowen together brilliantly by a pianist who has http://www.geocities.com/Vienna/5901/cdseptember98.html
Extractions: 1988. Deutsche Grammophon 423 571-2 GH full price There aren't many composers who have left a legacy of pianism; compositionwise or in execution, that can match the one of Hungarian composer Franz (Ferenc) Liszt. He left a formidable bulk of works, consisting of compositions of his own as well as transcripions of works of predecessors and contemporary colleagues. The Beethoven symphonies and several of Schubert's lieder are examples of Liszt's great fascination for the piano as medium for the most diverse musical expressions. The composer-musician Franz Liszt was regarded as the greatest of all pianists of his time, which says quite a bit considering one of his most ardent admirers was friend, rival and colleague Frédéric Chopin: a most able pianist himself. However it is as composer he has made his distinguished mark in music history. Franz Liszt is nothing less than one of the most original among composers, in his highly personal and experimental music. When one is confronted with the works of Liszt it becomes apparent that this man did not find the excisting musical conventions sufficiently developed or quite simply inadequate as frameworks for his compositions. Of the staggering amount of works he produced, only an extremely maginal number are written in the sonata form; two of which are presented here. Other composers naturally also have a fair portion of their opus, written in forms alternative to the sonata, but with Liszt this form is hardly ever in use, and when it is, it is always challenged.
Yundi Li Not only was he the first Chinese pianist to capture gold at the greatest livingpianists our time Martha Argerich, Maurizio Pollini, and krystian zimerman. http://www.geocities.com/pianorecital/yundi.html
Extractions: Yundi Li- what can I say about him? There isn't much I can say, except to praise him for the music he has played for us, and to praise God, for the tremendous gift with which He has blessed Yundi, that he may share it with us, in awe of God's generous beauty, that even those who do not know Him may experience and enjoy this beauty. After the competition, Li annouced that he wished to be "the next Zimerman," and requested to study with Krystian Zimerman. Zimerman rejected the request, claiming that there was nothing he could teach Li! Sure there is criticism against the commercial image that Deutsche Grammophon has imposed on Li, or how people in Taiwan and Hong Kong have tried to sell him like a pop star, or even how he is popular among young girls in Asia! However, such things have nothing to do with his music or his personality. It would be foolish for anyone to dismiss his music for these reasons. Li's musicality is that of a phenomenon. His music is full of little nuances. Unexpected melodic lines and colours show up here and there. He plays with very slight rubato. Yet, he frees his tempo at the most appropriate places. Every note is struck with great precision. His emotions are well controlled like Zimerman, but he knows when to let his passions flow, and when he does, he conquers the audience. His touch is clean like Pollini, but unlike Pollini, he is warm. A singing tone is the gift to his fingers, and his touch is full of humanity. He carries out each phrase and melodic line with a unique and yet appropriate colour. It is amazing that a 19-year-old boy can play Chopin with such mature musicality.

Extractions: Zimerman has carefully selected some of his finest recordings for use in this album, and the result is a program of remarkable finish and vitality. Despite the level of perfection, the recordings sound remarkably in the moment; it is as if Zimerman invents the music on the spot! Zimerman's range of color and emotion, coupled with absolute command in every respect, are inspiration for a lifetime. The Brahms Concerto #2 with Bernstein and the Vienna PO is a must-have. Krystian Zimerman is the pianist who can express the most refined iyricism and the most powerful thunder at the same time. With his playing, we can easily be moved into the 'real' world of genuine musician. In Brahms's E flat major piano concerto, we can see to what extent he revelates the composer's musical ideas. He is just Perfect! His Chopin is not a fragile, weak melody any more. It has got the internal strength beneath the texture. The pity is that the D minor concerto of the same composer and same performer is not in this CD. It's even much better. We can easily forget in these days what music can do for the human life, but Zimerman wonderfully makes you to think of it in new and deeper terms.
