Małgorzata Anna Mokrus – piano
Recorded at the Concert Hall and the Bolesław Szabelski Auditorium of the Karol
Szymanowski Academy of Music in Katowice, 2019
Sound engineering: Grzegorz Stec
The artistic vision presented in this recording reflects the pianist’s remarkable maturity, musical intelligence, and profound sensitivity. Her technical mastery, evident throughout these often formidable études, is integrally linked with deep emotionality and intense musical tension; in this rendition, Ms. Mokrus maintains these qualities in perfect harmony.
