Description:

The complete piano works of the young genius, Karłowicz! Mieczyslaw Karłowicz (1876-1909), one of the members of "Young Poland" and the standard-bearer of Polish Neo-Romanticism, was a master of tragedy who died in 1909 while skiing in the Tatra Mountains in an avalanche, losing his life in the process. Here, we will cover all of the solo piano works left by Karłowicz, whose reputation for orchestral excellence, including symphonic poems, has grown dramatically in recent years. His piano works, created by a talent that has been called even more gifted than Szymanowski, are a collection of superb works with outstanding lyricism and melodic beauty. Karłowicz's piano works will be played by Piotr Banaszyk, a talented pianist who has won first prize at various competitions, including the National Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw in 2012.
