Schubert, Four Impromptus, D. 899

Krystian Zimerman was born in Zabrze (Poland) on 7 December 1956. He made
his first major breakthrough in 1975, when he won the first prize at the
Chopin Competition in Warsaw. His friendship with Artur Rubinstein exerted
a lasting influence on him in his youth.
After expanding his repertoire and studying in London in 1980, he began to
make a name for himself as one of the most talented pianists of his
generation through numerous concerts and recordings. Further important
stations in his career were his projects with such great conductors as
Bernstein, Giulini and Karajan. The Polish composer Witold Lutoslawski
dedicated a piano concerto to him, which he premiered in Salzburg in 1988.
