Description
Piano works by Ignacy Jan Paderewski are an exceptionally original phenomenon in the context of the music created at the turn of the 20th century. Embedded in a typically Romantic tradition, in the major-minor system, they are also full of surprises and references to the output of other composers - from Scarlatti and Bach to Schubert and Liszt.
The cycles of miniatures presented on this album have been a staple in the repertoire of pianists around the world.
The complementary toccata "On the Desert" is played less frequently, although its piano and musical qualities are not inferior to the other compositions. We can find here virtuoso techniques, catchy motifs, inspirations drawn from Polish folk dances, mazurka and krakowiak, and typically Polish nostalgic melodies.
Chinese pianist Ying Han, who has been associated with Poland for several years, is renowned for her interpretations of this repertoire. Her playing, full of lightness and freedom, brings out the charm of these stylistically diverse miniatures.
