Ingolf Wunder - Chopin Recital

The second will be the first: this is perhaps the best way of summing up the outcome of the 2010 International Chopin Competition in Warsaw. After all, the experts were all agreed that it was not the nominal winner Yulianna Avdeeva who deserved the first prize but the Austrian pianist Ingolf Wunder. Wunder was born in Klagenfurt on September 8, 1985 and was only 4 when he received his first music lessons. He initially wanted to become a violinist, but when he was 14, his extraordinary talent for the piano was discovered. That same year he made his debut at the Vienna Konzerthaus, before going on to study the piano at the Conservatories in Kagenfurt and Linz and at Vienna's University of Music. In order to hone his Chopin skills, he worked on his technique with Adam Harasiewicz, who won the Chopin Competition in 1955.
