Annabelle Berthomé-Reynolds / Ivan Donchev BACEWICZ Complete Violin Sonatas

In this debut album with Muso, Annabelle along with her piano partner Bulgarian pianist Ivan Donchev, brought a superb opportunity to discover Grazyna Bacewicz. The double album highlights the Bacewicz sonatas for violin and piano along with solo violin pieces.

Furthermore, this is the very first complete Bacewicz violin sonatas recording in one single boxset! 

Recording at the stunning Penderecki European Music Centre in Luslawice, Poland brought the perfect setting to bring the Polish composers pieces to life.

In addition, the album was selected and broadcast before its official release date by France Musique.

Annabelle loves rare, powerful scores. She has imbued herself with this music. Together with her piano partner Ivan Donchev, they fill this album with vitality and poetry to make the boxset a real discovery, already a classic interpretation.

Marta Gebska / Grzegorz Skrobiński PER MUSICAM AD ASTRA

This is the debut album of a Polish violinist – Marta Gebska. The young artist is a laureate of extremely numerous competition prizes, and considering her young age, she presents a very mature personality. Her interpretations testify to a unique performance craftsmanship combined with excellent violin technique and signal the emergence of a genuine talent on the Polish music stage. The multitude of artistic means of expression used, the variety of colors, the variability of the character of the sound and its beauty is a matter of the soloist’s rich imagination, enhanced by the values of the great French instrument Gustave Vuillaumme 1923. Listening to her recordings, one can experience not only artistic satisfaction, but also the joy resulting from the harmonious development of Polish violin music, to which both Marta’s masters and outstanding violinists, Roman Lasocki and her father Andrzej Gebski, contributed.

Anna Szałucka A CENTURY OF POLISH PIANO MINIATURES

“‘A century of Polish Piano Miniatures' summarizes years of work and research just as Poland comes to its 100th anniversary of independence. My goal was to explore and present to the audience the real jewels of Polish piano literature from the post-Chopin era. Every piece covers a historically significant moment taking the listener on a fascinating journey through wars, conflicts and victories. Leaving Poland myself over five years ago it was very important for me to see how the new generation of composers take over both inside and (mostly) outside the country. It was also crucial for me to include works written by female composers. I am pleased to share this music with a wider international audience.” (Anna Szałucka)
