A pianist of international caliber
Since his triumph at the International Chopin Competition in 2005, Rafał Blechacz has been one of the defining figures in the piano scene. Official artist biographies describe him as a musician with exceptional technical control, clear expression, and a wide-ranging repertoire spanning Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, and Szymanowski. Deutsche Grammophon also refers to his early competition successes, his studies in Bydgoszcz, and several significant awards.

A program between lyricism and tension
The Mainz recital navigates through three major sound worlds: Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata, Bach's French Suite No. 6 as well as Fantasia and Fugue in A minor, and finally Chopin's Mazurkas, the Scherzo No. 1, and the Sonata No. 2. This selection of pieces promises contrasts: baroque clarity, classical density, and romantic expressiveness. Especially in a hall like the Frankfurter Hof, such works unleash their full dramatic effect, as every nuance, every crescendo, and every pause resonates immediately with the audience.
