“A born Chopin interpreter!”
The elderly Maestro was exuberant! After hearing Janina Fialkowska play the E minor concerto for the first time, the legendary Arthur Rubinstein delivered his verdict: "a born Chopin interpreter" he wrote.

Critics all over the world praise Janina Fialkowska's Chopin, mentioning over and over again her beautiful, expressive sound, her lyricism, her elegance, her phrasing, her passion for and deep understanding of the music.

Chopin's music is in Janina Fialkowska's Polish blood which explains her instinctive understanding of the Chopin rhythms, aristocratic moods and Slavic melancholy. With her early studies in Paris, she also acquired Chopin's French attributes including his sense of refinement and stylish elegance.

Janina Fialkowska's lifelong obsession with beautiful, singing keyboard sounds coupled with her brilliant technique are a perfect match for the Chopinesque belcanto-inspired melodies, the powerful bravura passages and the delicate ornamental filigree.
She has prepared an All-Chopin birthday recital especially for the anniversary year as well as a mixed program consisting of Mozart and/or Schumann in the first half and Chopin in the second.

Don’t miss this rare opportunity to hear Chopin played the “old-fashioned” way—with integrity, intelligence and the most beautiful sound!

"Janina Fialkowska is still a world-class Romantic" was a recent Toronto Star headline. And Montreal’s “La Presse” just wrote: “Fialkowska has become an artist of rare distinction as well as retaining all the virtuosity of her youth” (Feb. 2009).

Miss Fialkowska is looking forward to celebrating her favorite composer’s 200th birthday with you and your audiences.
