There is a great deal of excellent music outside the staple repertoire calling out for attention today. These are, by and large, works written by outstanding, mostly original composers with usually interesting personalities. The four composers on this Dux release – Ignacy Feliks Dobrzynski (1807-67), Maurycy Moszkowski (1854-1925), Juliusz Zarebski (1854-85) and Roman Palester (1907-89) – fit that bill. The Ravel Piano Duo, Agnieszka Kozło and Katarzyna Ewa Sokołowska, one of Poland’s leading piano duos, concertize throughout Europe and maintain a large two-piano and four-hand repertoire.
