Zimerman is best known for his interpretations of Romantic music, but has performed a wide variety of classical pieces as well. He has also been a supporter of contemporary music. For example, Witold Lutosławski wrote his Piano Concerto for Zimerman, who later recorded it. Amongst his best-known recordings are the piano concertos of Grieg and Schumann with Herbert von Karajan, the Brahms concerti with Leonard Bernstein, the piano concertos of Chopin (twice; once conducted by Carlo Maria Giulini and a later recording conducted by himself at the keyboard), the piano concertos of Beethoven under Bernstein, the first and second piano concertos of Rachmaninoff and the piano concertos of Liszt with Seiji Ozawa, and solo piano works by Chopin, Liszt, Debussy and Schubert.
Zimerman does not announce the program of his concerts far in advance.

Krystian Zimerman is truly a great artist. Sadly, the film crew didn't use the same piano stool for some of the additional establishing shots as the main recording. Probably why this video is so often taken down, probably at Zimerman's request.

@FrostDirt really? Thanks for pointing it out i will try and listen to for it
FrostDirt
@Bram Bakker it's a different recording but extremely similar nonetheless. Look at the tempo of the coda here and the studio version. Coincidentally, they're recorded on the same year.
