Editorial Reviews

From Amazon.co.uk
Filter Chopin's mazurkas through extreme fin-de-siècle chromatic mysticism, such as Scriabin's, and you may emerge with something resembling Szymanowski's op.50. This composer's musical voice is intensely personal, combining his powerful love for the folk music of his native Poland with an introverted, often nearly neurotic tension and a remarkable sensitivity to the potential of the piano. The works on this disc exemplify his piano style, though they are not his best-known and are for the most part rarely played. Perhaps the real find here is the op.8 piano sonata, an early work still very much under the principal influences of Chopin and Scriabin. It's a traditional four-movement work on the grand scale and one hopes that it will gain wider popularity through this fine recording, in which Martin Roscoe brings out the range and versatility of Szymanowski's imagination to the full. The sonata is full of near-orchestral sonorities and the mazurkas, études and dances emerge as gem-like slivers, played with empathy and affection. --Jessica Duchen
