Wertheim/ Pawlik/ Telecki - Works for Piano Solo

At the turn of the 20th century, apart from the explosion of new artistic phenomena and aesthetic attitudes in art associated with the modernist movement, the trend of continuing Romantic ideas was still an exploited tendency in music as a way of composing expression. The output of Polish composer, pianist, educator, conductor and music critic Juliusz Wertheim (1880-1928) is kept in the neo-romantic convention. The album by Pawel Pawlik and Szymon Telecki is an excellent opportunity both to study the somewhat forgotten page of the Polish history of music and to confront Wertheim's works with the music of the most outstanding Polish composers of his time.
