Info zu Magdalena Baczewska plays Chopin & Szymanowski
Magdalena Baczewska - Magdalena Baczewska plays Chopin & Szymanowski: Born in Poland, Magdalena Baczewska has enjoyed a multifaceted career as a pianist, harpsichordist, educator, recording artist, producer, and an administrator). She is currently Director of the Music Performance Program and Lecturer in Music at Columbia University in the City of New York.
The works on this album were chosen to show the connection between the music of two Polish-born composers: Fryderyk Chopin (1810-1849) and Karol Szymanowski (1882-1937). On one end of the spectrum lies Szymanowski’s lifelong reverence for the musical language of Chopin, starting with his first compositional steps, Preludes op. 1, and culminating decades later in Mazurkas op. 50 and op. 62. On the other end lies the fascination with Polish folklore, developed independently by each composer, drawing on different musical styles experienced in different regions. While folklore was not the sole artistic influence, both composers explored it in mature stages of their compositional output.
