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 in May 2007 he graduated from the Feliks Nowowiejski Music Academy in Bydgoszcz with professor Katarzyna Popowa-Zydroń. He is also a winner of second prize at the Artur Rubinstein in Memoriam Piano Competition in Bydgoszcz (2002), 4th Hamamatsu International Piano Competition (2003), and a winner of the Grand Prix at the International Piano Competition in Morocco in 2004.
Rafał Blechacz ，1985 年6月30日于波兰北方城市Nakło nad Notecią出生的古典钢琴家 ，是2005年/于华沙举办的第十五届国际肖邦钢琴大赛的金奖得主。 除了肖邦大赛冠军，布雷哈驰同时囊括最佳玛祖卡，最佳协奏曲以及最佳波兰舞曲演奏等特殊奖项。由于大赛评审团一致认为他在比赛中的表现远远超于其他选手，第二名没有给予颁发。
肖邦大赛的金牌为他打开了通往世界各大演奏厅的大门：除了收邀到各地演出，Blechacz于2006年5月28日与德国留声机，Deutsche Grammophon有一个五年独家合约，是继齐玛曼（齐默尔曼）以来第二个与这个世界第一大古典唱片公司签约的波兰人。在德国留声机的旗下，布雷哈驰从2007年十月开始出了3张唱片，分别为肖邦前奏曲，贝多芬/莫扎特/海顿奏鸣曲以及肖邦两个钢琴协奏曲。
布雷哈驰现在是在位于波兰北方城市托伦的尼古拉·哥白尼大学哲学系的在校博士生。
