Julia Kociuban (piano)About
The album includes a number of polonaises ranging from well-known and often performed works (pieces by Fryderyk Chopin and Ignacy Jan Paderewski) to those almost completely forgotten today (compositions by Alfons Szczerbiński and Jan Kiszwalter).
Already recorded in the 16th-century tablatures, by the beginning of the 19th century it crystallised into a musical showcase of Polishness. On an international and local scale, in which it finally settled under its imported French name, namely polonaise. At the threshold of Romanticism, this dance was not only a recollection of an idealised noble idyll, but also by far the most popular, most published genre in the dancing culture of the capital's urban salons.
Julia Kociuban is considered one of the leading pianists of her generation. Her debut album Schumann, Chopin, Bacewicz was recognised by critics as one of the most interesting Polish piano recording debuts, while her recording of the Piano Sonata no.2 by Grażyna Bacewicz was described as the most magnificent registration of the piece in the world. Moreover, the next two albums featuring concertos and piano quintets by Grażyna Bacewicz and Alexander Tansman were nominated for a Fryderyk. The artist regularly performs in renowned concert halls in Europe (including Herkulessaal in Munich, Konzerthaus in Vienna and Laeiszhalle in Hamburg).
