Chopin: The Complete Preludes

Blechacz's first album for Deutsche Grammophon is a recording of the complete Chopin Preludes – one of Chopin’s most lyrical and best-known piano cycles and the perfect programme to introduce the audience to the artistry of this exceptional young pianist. The Preludes are coupled with the two Nocturnes op. 62, arguably the climax of Chopin’s achievements in this genre.

Blechacz burst on the scene with a sensational victory at the famed Warsaw Chopin Competition in October 2005 – the jury awarded him not only the rarely given first prize but also all four special prizes for best sonata, mazurka, concerto, and polonaise performance. Since then, Blechacz has performed all over Europe and Japan to highest critical acclaim and already ensured himself a huge following among piano aficionados
