About
Internationally acclaimed Swedish pianist Peter Jablonski is known as a fervent champion of Polish music. In this album Jablonski returns to some of his dearest piano music – Chopin’s Mazurkas. For Chopin, the Mazurkas became a deeply personal, intimate statement of his feelings as an émigré Polish composer living in Paris. From some of his very first compositions to his last, it is the only form that Chopin composed regularly throughout his life. Similarly, Chopin’s Mazurkas have followed Peter Jablonski throughout his entire career as a pianist in nearly every solo recital

Reviews
“…Though Jablonski set the bar high with his Scriabin, he has certainly done just as well (if not even better) with these Mazurkas. With this display of musicianship and artistry, I very much look forward to what the second volume will have to offer.”
“… Ondine’s excellent recording is an ideal balance of warmth and transparency. Tetzlaff’s articulate notes lay out his interpretative ideas about the music and its interpretation… The magnetism of this new album makes for an especially compelling listen – we can only hope for more recordings from this team.”

“…The sound quality is excellent, round and full and still crystal clear, very well suited for reading along. The significance of this recording is probably also the completeness of all mazurkas in the order of the opus numbers …”
“…This first volume reveals an authoritative, idiomatic and individual style. He’s generally ap epic, large-scale player who favours a wide range of dynamics and articulations. He can be yieldingly lyrical, yet he’s not afraid to get dirt underneath his fingernails… I look forward to this excellently engineered and annotated release’s follow-up volume.”
