About this product

The relevance of the piano in Karol Szymanowski's work may hardly be underestimated. During his whole career the composer took the instrument into high consideration. As a result of that, piano music- starting from 1900 with the Nine Preludes Op. 1 and ending in 1934 with the Two Mazurkas Op. 62- runs like a red thread throughout his worklist. Though only twelve of his numbered works are meant for solo piano, we must take into account more than 100 songs with piano accompaniment, several chamber works for violin and piano, the Mythes Op. 32 being the most popular, and the Symphony No. 4 Op. 60 known as the Symphonie concertante for piano and orchestra. Andrea Vivanet began playing piano at age 8 and continued his studies at the Conservatorio di Musica Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina in Cagliari. He continued at the Conservatorio di Musica Girolamo Frescobaldi in Ferrara where he graduated with honors. He currently lives in Paris, where he pursues an active teaching and performing career.

Szymanowski / Szlezer - Marek Szlezer Plays Karol Szymanowski   - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Marek Szlezer is an artist valued both in Poland and abroad, awarded many times at renowned international and national competitions, performing in many prestigious concert halls around the world. Recording early pieces by Karol Szymanowski, presented on the present album, has been his dream for many years. He saw in these works more than just the Inchyouthful styleInch of the composer, which was belittled by many. Each of these pieces is a finite work for the pianist, the fulfillment of a certain idea, an emanation of an unusual personality and sensitivity of their creator. The unique beauty of this music is amazing, the power of youthful expression, sophistication of the means, the ability to diversify tension and create a thrilling expressive climate knock one down. Mark Szlezer is a graduate of the InchEcole Normale de Musique A. CortotInch in Paris, and the Academy of Music in Krakow. He is an active performer of modern music, and has premiered numerous modern compositions written especially for him.
