Chopin Mazurkas truly brought to life
S.F. | Nashville, TN USA | 07/15/2000
(5 out of 5 stars)

"The Mazurkas of Chopin are a unique body of work not only in the world of music but in the music of Chopin himself. They contain elements of both a personal nature and are highly evocative of Chopin's feeling for his native Poland as well. Though these pieces are written in 3/4 time, they have unwritten rhythmic elements that are very rarely brought out. Mr. Wasowski grew up in Poland dancing Mazurkas and understood these elements and brings them out in a way I've never heard before. He is to my mind the Chopin interpreter par excellence. I can't recommend these CD's enough, there is nothing like them. Truly wonderful and truly revelatory."

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Wasowski -- a Polish aristocrat -- went beyond nostalgia. This is ghostly Chopin, Chopin for a Strindberg play or a Bergman movie, the hypnotic Chopin Arthur Symons found in the playing of Vladimir de Pachmann. True, Wasowski in his mazurkas lacks the rustic bouyancy of Friedman. He lacks the balance of Rubinstein and the cosmopolitan polish of Michelangeli, who gave us a Chopin one could believe was devoted to Mozart and to Bach. No, Wasowki's Chopin is Polish through and through, so Polish that the Russians, when they captured him during the war and had him play for their troops and prisoners, refused to let him play Chopin. Wasowski may have blown out the candle, as the Amazon reviewer insists, but if you love the Chopin of moonlit summer nights, you will not curse the darkness."
