This recording marks the first-ever release of works by composers whose lives and artistic legacies still await wider recognition. Written at the dawn of the 20th century, these pieces capture the final echoes of Romanticism while embracing emerging new directions-freer, impressionistic forms and unexpected harmonic relationships-yet they also reveal the enduring influence of great predecessors such as Chopin and Stojowski. Acclaimed soloist and chamber musician Ewa Skardowska brings these rarely heard works to life with insight, commitment, and a deep understanding of the rich musical culture of the fin de siècle.
