Introducing a brand new Cyprien Katsaris recording with beautiful compositions from Polish composers written and performed between the two world wars.Cyprien says of this recording: “At one of my recent meetings with famous Polish physicist Professor Karol Penson, based in Paris, not only an excellent pianist and transcriber but also a tireless researcher of rare piano scores, he introduced me to several scores published in Poland many years ago which are hard to find. They include tangos, songs, film music, etc … each of them expressing a unique emotional experience full of nostalgia.” Cyprien started to complement his concerts with an ‘encore’ of songs from the Polish variety show repertoire, including hits from before the Second World War which evoked standing ovations in many cases and persuaded him to record them onto a CD for everyone to enjoy. After overcoming initial difficulties finding authoritative scores, and accompanied by many photographs in the booklet, ‘Polish Nostalgia’ the result, which you can judge for yourself is a fascinating insight into musical life between the two world wars.
