Pianist Piotr Banasik performs the complete works for piano by Mieczysław Karłowicz.

The album by Piotr Banasik distinctly reminds us that Polish composer Karłowicz is an excellent composer in the field of piano music. Piotr Banasik is a musician who willingly and often propagates the work of national 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.
