肖邦国际钢琴比赛堪称音乐界的奥运会，它是世界上最有名、最严格、级别最高的钢琴比赛之一，每5年在波兰首都华沙举办一次，至今已有70多年的历史。它不仅记载着现代钢琴家们的年少风华，更是二十世纪钢琴演奏史不朽传奇的见证。第一次世界大战后，肖邦的音乐被世俗气息曲解成靡靡之音，甚至连专业音乐院校都不愿意再将肖邦的作品作为教学曲目。在这样的情况下，波兰的钢琴家和音乐教育者们决定举办“肖邦国际钢琴比赛”以发扬肖邦的音乐精神，并发掘出优秀的肖邦音乐诠释者。“肖邦国际钢琴比赛”的举办的确得到了令人瞩目的成果，从大赛早期前前苏联和波兰钢琴家以技巧和音乐相抗，到二战后毛里齐奥·波里尼、玛莎·阿格里奇、弗拉基米尔·阿什肯纳齐与伊沃·波格雷里奇等一系列当今最走红的钢琴大家的横空出世，“肖邦国际钢琴比赛”已经成为国际钢琴家的摇篮。半个世纪以来，肖邦国际钢琴比赛不仅成为世界最重要的钢琴大赛之一，也以其严格的评审标准还原肖邦及其作品应有的形象。而八十年代波格雷里奇在大赛中出色演奏却未入选总决赛，致使评委阿格里奇红颜大怒、拂袖而去一事，不但造就了波格雷里奇个人另辟蹊径的神话，更为肖邦国际钢琴比赛再添一丝传奇色彩。 （zt)

Rafał Blechacz (pronounced [rafaw blɛxat​͡ʂ] born June 30, 1985 Nakło n. Notecią, Poland) is a Polish classical pianist.

On October 21, 2005, he became the sole recipient of all five first prizes at the 15th International Frederick Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw, taking First Prize and the polonaise, mazurka, sonata, and concerto prizes. According to ABC News, one of the judges, Professor Piotr Paleczny, said that Blechacz "so outclassed the remaining finalists that no second prize could actually be awarded." Another judge, the distinguished Irish pianist John O'Conor, said "He is one of the greatest artists I have had a chance to hear in my entire life," according to PBS. Blechacz was the first Pole to win the prize (given every five years) since 1975, when Krystian Zimerman won.

Blechacz completed his secondary education in the National Arthur Rubinstein Music School in Bydgoszcz and now continues his studies in the Music Academy in Bydgoszcz under Katarzyna Popowa-Zydroń. He is also a winner of second prize at the Artur Rubinstein in Memoriam Piano Competition in Bydgoszcz (2002), 4th International Hamamatsu Piano Competition (2003), and a winner of the Grand Prix at the International Piano Competition in Morocco in 2004.

His first CD, a recording of Chopin's complete Preludes and his op. 62 Nocturnes, was released by Deutsche Grammophone in April, 2008.
