The history of pianistsplaying Chopin is rich with names such as Horowitz, Askenazy, Pollini, Ohlsson, Rubenstein,
Rachmaninoff, Argerich, Pogorelich, Zimmerman, Cortot, and Arrau. And yet one name, usually neglected or forgotten by the classical listener, is Adam Harasiewicz (b.1932). The pianist, legendary
in his native country of Poland and across Europe, won the prestigious and lofty First Prize in the 1955 International Chopin Competition, beating both Vladimir Askenazy and Fou Ts'ong - highly
regarded pianists themselves. From his victory to the present, Harasiewicz has dedicated his professional career to playing the music of Chopin, even playing before the UN in 1960 to inaugurate
the Year of Chopin (the 150th anniversary of the composer's birthday). Continue: http://inkpot.com/classical/harasiewicz.html
