It was a coming together of a very special kind in Vienna in 1984 when enigmatic pianist Krystian Zimerman stepped onto the stage with charismatic maestro Leonard Bernstein for a filmed performance of Johannes Brahms’ Piano Concerto No. 2. On the surface, their temperaments could not have been more different. Bernstein was a media darling who ably used the medium of film not only to record concerts but also to reach a mass audience with his pedagogical expositions of music. Alongside him on the grand piano was the perfectionist and publicity-shy Zimerman, who very rarely discussed his art, meticulously prepared every nuance of his playing and even modified his instruments himself to achieve the perfect sound.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The result was indeed a magic moment of music and a landmark in the career of Krystian Zimerman. In this episode, “Leonard Bernstein and Krystian Zimerman Interpret Brahms”, Zimerman gives a rare interview, and for the first time in a TV documentary, speaks in detail about the background to the concert recording and why the collaboration with Leonard Bernstein radically changed the course of his artistic life.<\/p>\n
