Jakob Alsgaard Bahr - Piano Works Vol. 1 - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Chopin himself treated most of his vocal miniatures as pieces intended to bring joy, lighten faces or squeeze a tear from the eye. He belonged to people of a cheerful nature - merry; and in the exile, he would still joke and make Inchvarious facetiae.Inch This is the interpretation of these gems, presented in this album by Henryka Januszewska. It is witty, full of details and showcases an extraordinary culture. This recording of Chopin's songs from 1988 belongs to the absolutely best and most interesting in the history of phonography. Henryka Januszewska is one of the outstanding Polish singers of the New Generation. She is a graduate of the State Music Academy in Katowice, in the class of professor Helena Lazarska. In 1975 she became a laureate of the 13th International Competition of Contemporary Music Performers in Rotterdam. Marek Drewnowski is an excellent soloist who also performs chamber music with great taste and understanding. He studied at the Warsaw Academy of Music. His repertoire includes baroque, classical, and romantic literature.

Louis Glass was born in 1864. His childhood home was full of music. His father, Christian Henrik Glass, was a prominent and highly recognised music educator whose primary instrument was the piano, though he was also an organist. In 1877, he founded his own music conservatory, which focused on piano playing and soon gained a good reputation. The piano works of Louis Glass make up a significant part of his collected works. Aside from arrangements of orchestral works in different piano editions, the many two-handed piano pieces appear as either single movements or as part of collections. The collections of piano works include no fewer than 12 opus numbers with a total of 75 movements from Glass' entire output. This is the second volume in the complete series played by the young Danish pianist Jakob Alsgaard Bahr. Album Tracks 1. Piano Sonata No. 1 in E Major, Op. 6~I. Allegro con moto 2.
