Synopsis

Amazon.com

Witold Lutoslawski (1913-1994) had a career that touched on nearly all modes of composition in the 20th century, ranging from tonal, neoromantic works to atonal, serial, and downright unclassifiable pieces. This release of his piano music fully represents his compositional range--sonatas, works for two pianos, and works for voice. And, depending on your familiarity with Lutoslawski's music (and your taste), you'll find something here to your liking--which also means that there will be items that might not appeal to anyone at all. His Melodie Ludowe for Solo Piano ("Folk Melodies") of 1945 and Bukoliki of 1952 are quite appealing and part of the composer's neoromantic temperament; less so his discordant Five Songs of 1957. Nevertheless, all performances here are superb and would complement any Lutoslawski collection. --Paul Cook

CD Reviews

Piano piano piano and a little clarinet

Homiski | 08/24/2000

(4 out of 5 stars)

"This collection of all of the late Polish composer, Lutoslawski, is now available. Much in the tradition of the Polish composers, Chopin and Paderewski, Lutslawski wrote for the keyboard. Gathered here on one disc is the complete collection of his solo piano music (exluding the orchestral Piano Concerto). It even includes the Dance Preludes for clarinet and piano. Most of Lutoslawski's piano music dates from his early period, before he developed the technique of 'aleatorism' where performers play non-synchronized(independent) to each other. Other than the two etudes which sound like Chopin-inspired etudes with a twist many of the other pieces are folk inspired/derived. They gave you a rare hint and treasured look into Polish folk music and how a composer uses his craft to make music based on folk traditions. It is a must-have disc for anyone 'into' Lutoslawski and a good disc of Polish folk piano music."
