Rafal Blechacz has been deeply associated with the music of Fryderyk Chopin across his whole career. His devotion to the music of his great compatriot began long before 2005 when he won the Warsaw Chopin Competition. 'I learnt both sonatas while still in my teens. Now I think it was the right moment to go to the studio and record this programme. I didn't want to wait any longer.' - Rafal Blechacz.
