Piotr Plawner writes of his new release: "Of all the Polish violin repertoire, the works of Henryk Wieniawski are the best known, both in his native Poland and abroad. His two violin concertos and various works for violin and piano are performed all over the world. The International Henryk Wieniawski Competition in Poznan (similar to the Chopin Competition in Warsaw) is an internationally acclaimed competition. I find Karol Szymanowski one of the most versatile Polish composers... Eight years ago, I teamed up with the Polish Radio Orchestra to give Emil Milynarski's First Violin Concerto it's world premiere. It is hard to believe that the concerto was composed in 1897 and went unperformed for 113 years. This album is intended to bring home the message that this music must not be forgotten. May this release be a token of my gratitude to all the composers whose highly interesting and beautiful works are to be heard on this release."
