Grzegorz Niemczuk – Hommage à Chopin

Presented by Concerto en Fa Mineur (L.2-1049624/3-1049627). For his debut in Paris, pianist Grzegorz Niemczuk — winner of the 40th National Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw and described by a leading Japanese critic as a "contemporary reincarnation of Chopin" — presents an exceptional concert as part of a major European tour visiting London, Vienna, Prague, Budapest, Warsaw, Helsinki, Reykjavik, and Barcelona. Through music and words, he reveals the secrets, emotions, and poetry of Chopin's masterpieces, in an atmosphere where audiences feel as though the composer himself were playing for them.
