	Polish culture: Krystian Zimerman
		Zimerman's recording career is based on an exclusive contract with Deutsche Grammophon, a label for which the artist has recorded twenty-two albums that have brought him a number of prestigious awards.
		Krystian Zimerman provides perhaps what is the most spectacular example of success experienced by a winner of the Chopin Competition.
		Krystian Zimerman's concept for the interpretation of the concertos met with extremely varied reactions, which ranged from exuberance on one hand, to accusations of blasphemy on the other.

	classical music - andante - the eloquent krystian zimerman
		Here's just one measure of the effect Krystian Zimerman's eagerly anticipated Seattle debut had on the city's music lovers: the performance thoroughly swept away the bitter disappointment with the news that Maurizio Pollini had cancelled his own too-long-delayed debut (along with his entire North American tour).
		As with his Brahms, Zimerman did not strike the note of intense inwardness and searching mystery heard from a Radu Lupu; instead, the payoff was a comprehensive sense of the generosity in this music, an ability to encompass its sensual and spiritual qualities at once.
		Zimerman isn't one of those pianists who gives the sense of "improvising on the spot" — his art is richer than that, and his playing feels too well-conceived and replete with subtleties to be strictly of the moment.

	Krystian Zimerman, piano 10/25/06 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		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 and to the works of particular composers (Prokofiev and Beethoven).
		Witold Lutoslawski's honorable dedication of his Piano Concerto to Krystian Zimerman inspired the pianist to a similar treatment of that work: it was self-evident that it should be performed in Warsaw during the Warsaw Autumn Festival of Contemporary Music, with the composer as conductor.
		Zimerman lives with his wife and two children in Switzerland, where he has spent the greater part of his life, dividing his time between family, concerts, performances of chamber music and, in the last several years, a teaching position at the Music Academy in Basle.

	Krystian Zimerman
		Krystian Zimerman is known for his expressive intensity, dazzling technique, and the ability to fuse spontaneity and control, poetry and logic, to project musical ideas.
		Zimerman performed this work under the composer's direction on tour all over the world including London, where their concert was attended by Queen Elizabeth II.
		Zimerman was born in Zabrze, Poland, and by the age of six he was already absorbed in the world of the piano, having appeared on Polish television playing his own compositions.

	RECITAL REVIEW; Risky Shades of Pale By Anatole Leikin (Krystian Zimerman, April 27, 2003)
		Zimerman was so at ease with the material and with himself, that I wished he would replay the Brahms with the same unconstraint and verve.
		Zimerman's remarkable tone and pedal control produced wonderful sound effects; his incomparable cantabile was not only deeply moving in the opening and the both arioso movements, but it also made the both fugues eminently singing, almost vocal.
		After finishing the lacework of the Scherzo with an elegant flourish, Zimerman stopped and, jokingly, looked at the audience, as if saying, "Are you going to clap now, or what?" He got a hearty laugh, a thunderous applause, and proceeded to play the Largo at the height of his poetic charm.

	RECITAL REVIEW: Precision and Passion By Jerry Kuderna (Krystian Zimerman, April 23, 2006)
		It might be argued that the work's sentimental side lies in its bittersweet acceptance of the limitations of the waltz, the ingenious ways in which the composer varies the tempo and mood from one piece to the next, and the different ways he joins the seven waltzes (plus epilogue) together.
		It was apparently left on despite Zimerman's protestations, and when he could put up with it no longer, he excused himself and went backstage to make a final plea for quiet.
		Zimerman was forced to import another piano and used one of three piano actions that accompany him on his tours.

		Zimerman was the last—for some time also the only—pianist who performed under Bernstein, both during recording sessions and at concerts in many European countries and the United States.
		Zimerman also embraced the opportunity to meet and make a closer acquaintance of the older-generation masters: Claudio Arrau, Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli, Arthur Rubinstein and Sviatoslav Richter—all of whom exerted a powerful influence on his musical development.
		Zimerman lives with his wife and two children in Switzerland, where he has spent the greater part of his life, dividing his time between family, concerts, performances of chamber music (most recently with Gidon Kremer), and, in the last several years, a teaching position at the Music Academy in Basle.

	Pianist Krystian Zimerman to play at newest All-Steinway school (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Krystian Zimerman, the renowned German pianist whose Steinway travels with him, will feel right at home during his Nov. 18 concert at Ball State, the world's newest All-Steinway School.
		The combination of Zimerman playing his personal Steinway in the world-class David and Mary Jane Sursa Performance Hall will be a memorable concert that reflects the university's commitment to the arts, said Robert Kvam, dean of the College of Fine Arts.
		Zimerman¸ who was the last, and for some time also the only, pianist to perform under Leonard Bernstein, has been traveling with "his own action" for the last 12 years; the keyboard travels with him while the Steinway travels with his personal piano technician.

	Arts \| Krystian Zimerman
		The technique and intellectual power of the Polish pianist Krystian Zimerman are legendary, but it was the quality of his sound that made this recital of music by Brahms and Beethoven such an enthralling experience.
		At St George's, Zimerman deliberately pushed every facet of the musical experience to its limit, with the listener not just drawn in but compelled to be involved, listening to every note for its relative weight, tone and emotional value, its every vibration.
		The passion with which Zimerman delivered the Brahms sonata was fiery, and even the quietest moments were imbued with a glowing intensity.

	Illustrious concert pianist Krystian Zimerman to perform Oct. 25
		Zimerman, who last performed at Middlebury in 2004, rarely announces his concert program in advance, and this performance, like others, is highly anticipated and carries an air of mystery.
		Zimerman counts a number of conductors among his closest professional friends and mentors.
		Zimerman's fame surged in 1994 with his release of Debussy's Preludes, which won a host of awards including the Record of the Year and top instrumental honors at the Gramophone Awards.

		These recordings of Zimerman's performances of Rachmaninov's first two piano concertos with Seiji Ozawa and the Boston Symphony Orchestra from 1997 and 2000 are transcendentally virtuosic and their emotional impact of his performances is unrivaled in passion and precision.
		Zimerman had recorded big performances before -- his Chopin "Ballades" are muscular and his Ravel "Concerto" is monumental -- but Zimerman's Rachmaninov is legendary in its scope and scale.

		However Krystian Zimerman, despite being as polish as Chopin, does not rise to the ocassion at all times during the Chopin Piano Concertos, and I have to say, the playing is excellent, the interpretation is supreme, but this is not Chopin by a long shot.
		This is the sensitive new approach that Krystian Zimerman and the Polish Festival Orchestra adopt in their landmark interpretation of the Chopin Piano Concertos.
		Zimerman hand-picked each and every member of his orchestra from among the finest young musicians in Poland, with the specific purpose of holding a world tour of the concertos on the 150th anniversary of Chopin's death.

		Zimerman tends to be a musician of shadings and nuance at the expense of drama; here he's rather faceless and generic, perhaps from inexperience.
		Krystian Zimerman is my absolute No. 1 among the pianists of our time, not because he's Polish of course, but because he is a true magician.
		Zimerman is outstanding (and he even conducts), and the thing I like the best is that you can really hear the piano and orchestral detail very clearly.

		This practice is unusual, but it is made possible via several technical inventions that Zimerman – himself an expert piano-builder – has applied to his instrument, including modifications that allow him to remove the plate or harp that holds the strings so he can work on it.
