Grażyna Bacewicz was a remarkable Polish composer and violinist whose music bridged modernist innovation with expressive depth. This collection gathers her piano works spanning the 1930s through the 1950s, a period when she was developing her distinctive voice—one that absorbed neo-classical forms while pushing into more complex harmonic territories. Ewa Kupiec brings sensitive interpretation to these works, from the Children's Suite's accessible charm to the ambitious two-movement Sonata from 1952-53, which reveals Bacewicz's sophisticated counterpoint and dramatic range. The music balances between traditional structures and twentieth-century sensibilities, with clear, sometimes austere textures that reward close listening. This isn't blockbuster Romanticism; it's the work of a thinking composer exploring what piano music could become after Brahms and Debussy. An essential document of mid-twentieth-century Polish composition.
