Description: | The compositional output of Ignacy Jan Paderewski (1860â??1941), although highly regarded during his lifetime, was eclipsed from the start by his unprecedented pianistic success. Abandoned relatively earlyâ??Paderewski completed his last weighty work, the â??Poloniaâ?? Symphony, in 1907â??with time it became even more overshadowed by his political activities, Paderewski ultimately emerging as one of the principal architects of Polandâ??s regaining of independence, in 1918. It would appear that only now, from our present-day perspective, when his pianistic and political achievements have passed into glorious history, has the turn come to appreciate Paderewski as the composer of what are often extremely valuable works. - W/JANINA FIALKOWSKA-PIANO, NAT.POLISH RADIO SYM.ORCH.Recorded at the Concert Hall of the National Polish Radio Symphony Orchestra, Katowice,
from 16th to 19th May, 1997 and on 7th January, 1998
