Krystian Zimerman on Szymanowski, conducting and retirement | Gramophone Classical Music Podcast 

Superb and insightful interview from the perhaps the greatest of all living pianists (in my humble opinion)

Wonderful interview. Maestro Zimerman's comments on digital music and studio recordings were eye-opening to me. As a country mouse I am only rarely privileged to hear live performance and I am grateful that he and many other superb musicians continue to provide us a glimmer of their artistry from the studio and live recordings. I find his recent Szymanowski recording sublime, much as I find the Mythes he recorded with Kaja Danczowska. Bravo and thank you.

Another thrilling interview from Krystian Zimerman . Always relevant on many subjects. Everytime a great pleasure to listen to him. ❤

Jak zawsze przyjemnie słucha się Krystiana.

Mr. Zimerman, putting off Symphony Concertante to the next life is the most scary thing! How are you sure you are going to meet Mr. Rattle there?!

How likely is it for Zimerman to perform in the US?

It's interesting what he says about live recordings and having to make a choice between playing for the microphone or the audience. I wonder why it is then that he goes so crazy when people make audience recordings of his concerts, especially when they are recorded in good sound. Seems the only way to reconcile the two, no?
