Krystian Zimerman – Szymanowski – Piano Works

$32.80

Polish pianist Krystian Zimerman returns to his roots to pay tribute to his compatriot Karol Szymanowski on the 140th anniversary of the composer’s birth. Having studied his solo piano works for decades, Zimerman presents a new album of richly varied repertoire spanning the period from 1899 to the mid-1920s.
For this album Zimerman has selected repertoire that for him shows the essence of Szymanowski, aiming to shed new light on his music and place him firmly in the canon of great composers of piano music. Each work or group of pieces represents a different, distinctive stage in his development. The album features the Masques op. 34, recorded in 1994 but never released, alongside interpretations of the Variations on a Polish Folk Theme op. 10 and selections of Préludes and Mazurkas.
