肖邦國際鋼琴比賽堪稱音樂界的奧運會，它是世界上最有名、最嚴格、級別最高的鋼琴比賽之一，每5年在波蘭首都華沙舉辦一次，至今已有70多年的曆史。它不僅記載著現代鋼琴家們的年少風華，更是二十世紀鋼琴演奏史不朽傳奇的見證。第一次世界大戰後，肖邦的音樂被世俗氣息曲解成靡靡之音，甚至連專業音樂院校都不願意再將肖邦的作品作為教學曲目。在這樣的情況下，波蘭的鋼琴家和音樂教育者們決定舉辦“肖邦國際鋼琴比賽”以發揚肖邦的音樂精神，並發掘出優秀的肖邦音樂詮釋者。“肖邦國際鋼琴比賽”的舉辦的確得到了令人矚目的成果，從大賽早期前前蘇聯和波蘭鋼琴家以技巧和音樂相抗，到二戰後毛裏齊奧·波裏尼、瑪莎·阿格裏奇、弗拉基米爾·阿什肯納齊與伊沃·波格雷裏奇等一係列當今最走紅的鋼琴大家的橫空出世，“肖邦國際鋼琴比賽”已經成為國際鋼琴家的搖籃。半個世紀以來，肖邦國際鋼琴比賽不僅成為世界最重要的鋼琴大賽之一，也以其嚴格的評審標準還原肖邦及其作品應有的形象。而八十年代波格雷裏奇在大賽中出色演奏卻未入選總決賽，致使評委阿格裏奇紅顏大怒、拂袖而去一事，不但造就了波格雷裏奇個人另辟蹊徑的神話，更為肖邦國際鋼琴比賽再添一絲傳奇色彩。 （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.
