"Chopin's music is so rich and really moves me. I simply love it," says Yulianna Avdeeva. Her close relationship with the composer is not surprising, as the pianist won the legendary Warsaw Chopin Competition in 2010, the first woman to do so after Martha Argerich. She won over the jury with her sensitive, poetic playing. In this concert, Yulianna Avdeeva combines some of Chopin's most popular pieces - including his achingly beautiful F minor Fantasy or his brilliant Grande Polonaise - with music by Władysław Szpilman. The composer and pianist, whose life story was made famous by the film The Pianist, bases his works entirely on Chopin's musical language.
