At the beginning of his creative career, Rem Urasin won the International Chopin Competition in Warsaw. "This was played by Chopin himself," critics wrote. He was called a "fantastic Tatar", the Polish audience dubbed "Chopen-like", and pianist Paul Badura-Shkoda spoke of him as "an excellent performer of Chopin's music."
This program is devoted to the first years of Chopin's stay in a foreign land. In the autumn of 1830, 19-year-old Chopin, a brilliantly gifted pianist, author of poetic pianistic miniatures, large concert pieces with orchestra, songs left his native Warsaw. It was in Europe that he received the news about the fall of Warsaw ... Another Chopin arrived in Paris: the composer, whose music was dominated by drama, conflict, depth of experience, deepened features of national identity.
Chopin always yearned for home, learned need, but the musical Europe with the mouth of Robert Schumann proclaimed: "Hats off, gentlemen, before you - a genius!".
