Jessica Duchen profiled Krystian Zimerman, our goto Chopin d00d, for the excellent Pianist Magazine: the story, full of great anecdotes, is not on the magazine's website but has been generously made available to the public by Jessica on her blawg in .pdf form.
Lots of great stuff in it -- his friendship as a young man with old Rubinstein, his BYOP plan (he Brings His Own Piano to recitals, in a van, and fixes the big beast himself -- probably sleeps under it or something, too), his plan to boycott the USA in the future on political grounds and therefore make himself more scarce in the future with American audiences (which is very lame, obviously, but then, this not being Poland in the 1950s, ZimZim is completely free to be lame).
