Szczerbinski/ Koukl - Complete Piano Music 2

Polish composer Alfons Szczerbinski was a Romantic who revered Bach, Haydn and Mozart above all others. Many of his scores were lost during the First World War or destroyed by the composer himself. His most extrovert music exudes the panache and rhythmic brio of Chopin whilst his series of Chansons sans paroles display a flair for harmonic fantasy and melodic beauty reminiscent of Mendelssohn. Giorgio Koukl's second volume of Szczerbinski's complete piano music reveals yet more discoveries by this unjustly neglected composer.
