Polish virtuoso of Chopin, superb performance in his young days CHOPIN RECITAL Janusz Olejniczak, piano HQMA-00017( Camerata ) Classical

Janusz Olejniczak, who was born in 1952 in Poland and won a prize the Chopin Competition at the age of 18, is a crucial player when discussing Chopin, as he appears as Chopin himself in films or on TV as well as playing the piano. It is still fresh in our minds that he attracted public attention when he took charge of the music of the film 'The Pianist', produced in 2002. The Chopin album recoded when Janusz was 26 shows brilliant youthfulness and Chopin's quintessence.
