Lukasz Kwiatkowski - Chopin & Miładowski: Known & Unknown Romantics (2023)

The latter is better represented on our two-disc album: we will also find here four Scherzi and the Variations in D major on Là ci darem la mano from the opera Don Giovanni by Mozart. Therefore, listeners can prepare for a genuine piano feast, in which two different individuals, two voices from the past speak a similar musical language, testifying to the era of romanticism with their music.Łukasz Kwiatkowski, a talented young Polish pianist with many prizes, honourable mentions and performances with famous orchestras under his belt, can be heard on this recording. He also develops his musical passions by working with the Academy of Music in Łódź as a researcher and lecturer.
