The Vancouver Chopin Society presents Rafał Blechacz
Even though Rafał Blechacz is an old friend of the Chopin Society, each of his Vancouver appearances causes both audience members and music critics in search of new superlatives.
The unquestionable winner of the 2005 International Chopin Competition in Warsaw, he has since developed into a thoughtful and mature artist and musician, whose every appearance or recording is eagerly anticipated. In the words of distinguished pianist John O’Conor, “Rafał Blechacz is one of the greatest artists I have ever heard in my life.”
A Deutsche Grammophon recording artist, Blechacz’s every album has been the recipient of rave reviews as well as prestigious awards. His 2007 recording of Chopin’s Preludes achieved platinum status in Poland and has been honoured with awards by Germany’s Echo Klassik and France’s Diapason d’Or. He now has a dozen universally acclaimed albums to his credit.
We are delighted that Rafał Blechacz has again agreed to share his artistry with Vancouver audiences.
