Widely regarded as one of the world’s greatest pianists, Krystian Zimerman shot to fame when, at the age of 18, he became the youngest ever winner of the International Chopin Piano Competition. Since then he has embarked on an illustrious career, working with the most distinguished musicians and orchestras, chamber partners such as Gidon Kremer, Kyung Wha Chung and Yehudi Menuhin, and conductors such as Leonard Bernstein, Herbert von Karajan, Seiji Ozawa, Riccardo Muti, Lorin Maazel, André Previn, Pierre Boulez, Zubin Mehta, Bernard Haitink, Stanisław Skrowaczewski and Sir Simon Rattle, as well as giving recitals in the world’s leading concert halls.
Beyond his live performance, Zimerman is also a highly acclaimed recording pianist, he has won numerous awards for his albums, most recently Gramophone’s Piano Award 2023 for his recording of Szymanowski’s works. The pianist has been recognised by the Japanese Praemium Imperiale and the French Legion of Honour, among many other esteemed accolades.
