Album Description
Grazyna Bacewicz (1909-1969) was the first Polish woman to become a famous composer. Educated in Paris under the legendary Nadia Boulanger, she became a master violinist and most of her compositions feature that instrument. Seriously injured in a car accident in 1954, she then gave up performing and teaching to concentrate on composing. Pianist Ewa Kupiec is the preeminent interpreter and advocate of the music of Grazyna Bacewicz. Her previous release of the complete published piano music received global acclaim. Pianist Kupiec is joined by virtuoso violinist Piotr Plawner in spirited and authentic interpretations of this neglected master's music for violin and piano. The music of Bacewicz is extremely accessible, yet modern. While she explored many different styles, her music is based in the traditions of Polish folk music. New interest in the music of Bacewicz makes this an extremely attractive addition to any collection.

Product Description
This recordings selections exemplify many of the features found throughout the extensive but largely little known body of Polish violin-keyboard writing. The wide stylistic variety parallels the diversity within Polands cultural traditions shaped, in turn, by a long history of frequently changed borders and territorial makeup. Starting long before Polands culturally progressive Golden Age (mid 15th-16th centuries), these connections occurred through trade, religious, intellectual, artistic, marriage and other contacts. As a result, this music, like the rest of Polands culture, is generally western-oriented but sometimes includes distinctive eastern elements. Folk elements are often equally important. Most obvious is the use of Polish dances, e. g. the mazurka, but dance-related rhythmic figures, or their characteristic accents on normally less-strong beats or rhythmic subdivisions are often transplanted to non-dance settings. The historical association of ! Polish folk traditions with fiddles and then the violin itself (long Polands most popular folk instrument), is so close that Polands classical violin performance tradition reaching back to c. 1500 can also be considered to be an extension of her much longer folk practice. While the earliest of Polands many widely-famous violinists date from the 19th century, numbers of Polish violinists were already known for their high level of performing throughout Europe in the 16th century. Likewise, effective keyboard writing on this CD reflects a rich Polish keyboard tradition, sometimes with the composer being either a performing pianist ( like Chopin and Paderewski) or able to play the instrument with a high degree of accomplishment (Bacewicz).
