Product description

Immerse yourself in the captivating world of Karol Szymanowski, one of Poland's most celebrated composers of the early 20th century, with the album "Szymanowski: 20 Mazurkas, Op. 50 & Piano Sonata No. 1 in C Minor, Op. 8." Released on February 12, 2016, under Centaur Records, Inc., this classical masterpiece is a testament to Szymanowski's musical genius and his profound influence on the genre.

The album features a stunning collection of 20 Mazurkas, Op. 50, each offering a unique blend of rhythm, melody, and emotion. From the serene and introspective "Sostenuto. Molto rubato" to the lively and energetic "Allegramente. Poco vivace," these pieces showcase Szymanowski's mastery of the mazurka form, a traditional Polish dance that he reimagined with his distinctive modernist touch.

In addition to the Mazurkas, the album also includes a powerful performance of Szymanowski's Piano Sonata No. 1 in C Minor, Op. 8. Composed in 1903-04, this four-movement work is a classic example of Szymanowski's early style, characterized by its rich harmonies, intricate counterpoint, and dramatic contrasts.

Performing these works is the talented pianist Sang Mi Chung, whose sensitive and expressive playing brings out the full depth and beauty of Szymanowski's music. With a total duration of 1 hour and 4 minutes, this album is a must-listen for anyone interested in classical music, Polish culture, or the works of Karol Szymanowski. Whether you're a seasoned classical music enthusiast or a newcomer to the genre, this album is sure to captivate and inspire you.
