About
Halina Czerny-Stefánska, who was born in Kraków in 1922 and died there in 2001, achieved international fame as an interpreter of Chopin. On the 150th anniversary of the Polish composer's birth, the state-owned record company Polskie Nagrania produced a comprehensive collection of his works, featuring a number of her exemplary recordings, which form a major part of this 4-CD set.
Halina Czerny-Stefánska hailed from a family defined by music. Her father, who also became her first teacher, was a direct descendant of Beethoven’s pupil – the composer Carl Czerny. She first came to the attention of the international world of music when in 1949, at the first post-war Chopin competition in Warsaw, she won first prize. She was the first Polish winner in this competition, the prizes of which had hitherto gone exclusively to artists from the Soviet Union. This was the birth of a worldwide career.
Recorded 1949-60
