Overview
Karol Szymanowski’s "Intégrale de l'œuvre pour piano: Complete Piano Works, Vol. 1" showcases the virtuosity and innovation of the Polish composer’s piano compositions. Pianist Andrzej Stefański performs a comprehensive selection of Szymanowski’s works, including his early Preludes (Op. 1), the intense and expressive Variations (Op. 3), the technical complexity of his Etudes (Op. 4), and the dynamic Polish Dances, which reflect the composer’s roots in Polish folk music. The world premiere complete recording provides listeners with a deep dive into Szymanowski’s stylistic evolution and his blend of late-Romanticism with modernist influences. This recording is a must-have for those exploring the breadth of Szymanowski’s piano compositions.
