DUX presents Piotr Banasik, an outstanding pianist who is fascinating in his interpretations, in this new album featuring the complete piano works of Mieczyslaw Karlowicz. The piano pieces featured here constitute a very interesting part of the Polish neo-romanticism movement. The album by Piotr Banasik distinctly reminds us that Karlowicz is an excellent composer, not only in his works for strings, but also in the field of piano music. Piotr Banasik is a musician who willingly and often propagates the work of Polish composers. When in 2005 he took part in the 15th International Chopin Piano Competition, many commentators were surprised that despite his great performances, he was not qualified for the final interrogations. His balanced, supported by refined technique interpretations (incl. The Etude in G-flat major, Op. 10 No. 5 and Bolero, Op. 19) turned out to be one of the most outstanding in the first stage of the event's edition.
