And quite exceptional in many ways. Very hard to resist.

Dear Norman, thank you for spreading the news about my newest CD. I am delighted you appreciate the art of Grazyna Bacewicz. In spite of the few recordings mentioned above her name is not really well known outside of Poland. In the United States very few conductors and instrumentalists are aware of her impressive output. I really hope that the exposure offered by Naxos will help to introduce her music to new audiences. I am planning more recordings in the future. Best regards, Mariusz Smolij
Thank you very much for ginving attention to this wonderful music and this excellent recording.
Krystian Zimerman made a major Bacewicz-recording a couple of years ago:

Good to hear that there is more to come.
