    It's pretty startling to see Chopin's Mazurka in C major, Op. 56/2, in a list of harpsichord pieces, but what's even more startling is that in this context, it works on the harpsichord. This collectors' release combines two albums by Polish-born harpsichord pioneer Wanda Landowska. The first, Dances of Poland, was recorded in 1951 but not released until 1965, after Landowska's death. The second LP, A Treasury of Harpsichord Music, consists of recordings made in 1946, originally collected on LP in 1957; it includes what are now Baroque standards by Rameau, Handel, Domenico Scarlatti, François Couperin, and J.S. Bach (a keyboard arrangement of a Vivaldi concerto), along with a few Mozart movements. Of course, they weren't "standards" at the time; the world has Landowska to thank for the fact that this music is heard on the harpsichord at all – she was ridiculed by one of her contemporaries, who asked why she wanted anything to do with such a "cage of flies."

    Landowska's custom made harpsichord was a giant beast, with a powerful, percussive sound and a variety of available registrations that she exploited to the maximum. She was trying to get the attention of people who had Rachmaninov in their ears, and today her playing would seem over the top if it weren't so intelligently put together. The Dances of Poland album is definitely an oddity, but the pulsing rhythmic power of Landowska's playing makes the music work surprisingly well. Hear the very first work on the album, Michal Kleofas Oginski's Polonaise No. 1 in A major, "Farewell to the Fatherland" – a rousing work that sounds like a predecessor of Chopin's "Revolutionary" Etude. It by all rights ought to require a piano, but Landowska will have you tapping your foot to it. The Polish Renaissance dances Landowska includes are real rarities, as are the other folk-like pieces she includes – one of them, an arrangement of a French bourrée from Auvergne, is credited to Landowska herself. Landowska argued that the harpsichord was suitable for reproducing folk music, which wouldn't have the crescendos and decrescendos available on modern instruments, and the Polish wedding dance called The Hop will convince you that she might have been onto something nobody has tried since. The album of Baroque harpsichord music is less surprising but has several very nice moments; sample Landowska's resonant treatment of Bach/Vivaldi's central Largo (track 22), where she makes her harpsichord sound like a whole string section. This release is a curiosity, perhaps, but it offers insight into the talents of a historical figure who increasingly seems well worth rediscovering. - AllMusic Review by James Manheim
