Bacewicz, Grazyna - Piano Concerto; Concerto for Two Pianos & Orchestra; Overture; Music for Trumpets, Strings & Percussion - Jablonski, Peter

The music of Grazyna Bacewicz (1909–1969) has experienced a renaissance over the past two decades. Bacewicz was a significant figure in 20th-century music, an important Polish composer and a versatile musician. This album, recorded by award-winning pianist Peter Jablonski, pianist Elisabeth Brauß, the Radio Symphony Orchestra, and conductor Nicholas Collon, features rarely recorded gems: the composer's piano concerto and her late Concerto for Two Pianos and Orchestra in its first digital recording. Also included is the composer's tribute to Bartók, Music for Strings, Trumpets and Percussion, as well as the composer's early, boisterous overture, written in Poland during the German occupation.
