This recital represents the Polish violin tradition in all its fascinating variety. Lipiński’s virtuoso Impromptus are the ancestors of Drozdzewski’s showpiece solo Caprices, which have dedications both to Lipiński and Paganini. Zarzycki’s lyrically heartfelt works are emblematic of nineteenth-century romanticism, and both Górecki and Lutosławski are preeminent figures of the twentieth century whose finely crafted music resonates with audiences all over the world. Award-winning violinist Kinga Augustyn’s playing has been described as ‘stylish and vibrant’ (The Strad). She also appears on Naxos 8.559733 performing Kenneth Fuchs’s Falling Trio with Jeffrey Biegel’s Trio21 and cellist Robert DeMaine.
