The fifth of six radio portraits of great musicians from the past presented by David Mellor. In 1975,
Krystian Zimerman was the youngest-ever winner of the Warsaw
Piano Competition. He found himself befriended by another Polish pianist four times his age, and until his death seven years later
Artur Rubinstein shared his insights and memories with his young colleague. Today, Krystian Zimerman pays tribute to an artist who kept the tradition of the 19th-century virtuoso alive until late in the 20th-century.
