Marek Szlezer is an artist valued both in Poland and abroad, awarded many times at renowned international and national competitions, performing in many prestigious concert halls around the world. Recording early pieces by Karol Szymanowski, presented on the album, has been his dream for many years. He saw in these works more than just the “youthful style” of the composer, belittled by many. Each of these pieces is a finite work for the pianist, the fulfillment of a certain idea, an emanation of an unusual personality and sensitivity of their creator. The unique beauty of this music is amazing, the power of youthful expression, sophistication of the means, the ability to diversify tension and create a thrilling expressive climate knock one down.
