Radosław Sobczak SZYMANOWSKI

Piano works by Karol Szymanowski pose a considerable challenge to their performers. Although the composer himself was an active instrumentalist, he never thought about his works in a purely pianistic way. This work is full of textural complexities which, in combination with numerous compositional indications, regulating tempo and dynamics, do not facilitate interpretation. A recording of a pianist who earned a reputation as promoter of Polish music, Radosław Sobczak , shows that even the most difficult textural traps do not pose any difficulty for this artist. The album programme consists of: Piano Sonata No. 2 in A major. Op. 21 , 2 Mazurkas from Op. 50 , Etude in B flat minor, Op. 4 No. 3 , and rarely performed Preludes, Op. 1.
