Marjan Kiepura, piano
An interesting CD recorded by a pianist of Polishheritage who attempts to highlight the "Polishness" of Chopin's music with acollection of 14 mazurkas plus 6 other works. Chopin's Polish characteristicswere most influenced through a childhood experiencing the distinctive danceforms of his native country, and although the mazurkas and polonaise existedbefore his time these very Polish traditions were taken by Chopin andtransformed to an extraordinary level of expression and sophistication. Athoughtfully put together compilation which has already received rave reviewsand been well advertised and is now distributed by Discovery. |

| "...(Marjan Kiepura)...played with impressive empathy and an energetic response to the character rhythms of Chopin's writing"... "It's a re-issue that I have enjoyed a lot". |
