About this product
The cycle of Nine Preludes, Op. 1 gained recognition already two years before it's official . In 1904, Arthur Rubinstein - fascinated by the first contact with the Preludes, as well as with several other compositions of his later friend - used the following words to describe them 'This music indeed touched my deepest emotions; I have not experienced anything similar since the discovery of Chopin. Who is that man? Where does he live? Where is he now? I need to meet him!' Undoubtedly, op. 1 can be considered the first great showcase of Karol Szymanowski's talent. In each of the miniatures, a smooth synthesis of Romantic influences and harmonic and textural procedures typical of many of the composer's works occurs. These works are beautifully performed by flutist Agata Igras and pianist Mariusz Rukowski.

To celebrate the composer's 250th birthday, this edition presents all available chamber music compositions by Josef Elsner in new recordings of historically informed interpretations. Joseph Elsner was born in the town of Grottkau (Grotków) in Silesia. He initially attended the Dominican monastery school in Breslau (Wroclaw) where he was trained as choirboy and violinist and afterwards the Jesuit School as well as the Leopoldinum where at first he studied theology and later medicine. Aged twenty he moved to Vienna and chose a musical career. Elsner finally ran the Main School for Music (Szkola Glówna Muzyki) at Warsaw University where his students included Frédéric Chopin, Feliks Ignacy Dobrzynski et al. Towards the end of his life Elsner compiled a comprehensively commented catalogue of his musical pieces the German original of which has unfortunately been lost. What remains is a Polish translation, nowadays considered the main source for Elsner's life and work.
