CD Rel Date: 1982-09-25
Rafa Blechacz is one of DGs best-selling young artists his stunning albums have sold more than 160,000 units worldwide. And Rafa Blechacz is by talent, proclivity, and nationality the perfect choice to record works by his fellow Pole, Szymanowski. And therefore to record Debussy, too whose presence in Szymanowskis musical DNA looms large. Arguably the greatest Polish composer since Chopin, Szymanowski was also influenced by Ravel, Scriabin, and Strauss. For the first time on record Rafa Blechacz plays Szymanowskis reverie-inducing music a revelation to those unfamiliar with it. Debussys Impressionist soundscapes (also new to Rafa Blechaczs discography) including Pour le piano and Estampes are a natural fit for a Chopin expert such as he.
