While I was more than enthusiastic about part one, part two is, believe it or not, even better. Or, to be more precise: more surprising. More exciting. This is partly due to the pieces played by Jennifer Pike, because as well as Szymanowski, she has also immersed herself in works by Poldowski and Grazyna Bacewicz.
Now Bacewicz is not really that unknown, at least I hope so. At least not among the _real_ classical music lovers, but I suspect that the average concert and recital programmers, especially in the Netherlands, have never heard of her. Will we ever hear her compositions in the concert halls? Recordings of her works are also scarce. Why would that be? Is the ‘Einaudi-sation’ of the classical music sector a fait accompli?
