This second and final volume of Chopin’s Mazurkas by Peter Jablonski includes the composer's Mazurkas Nos. 30-51 alongside six posthumous 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. This album also includes Chopin’s final composition that was written just few weeks before his death, the Mazurka No. 49 in F minor (1849).

“…Jablonski has maintained a taut lyricism and subtle drama throughout; and with Vol, 1 (Ondine 1412), I recommend his survey without reservation.” ****
Gary Lemco – AudiophileAudition.com – 1 December 2023
“… this is a distinguished cycle, made more valuable by its inclusion of all the posthumous items. Excellent sound, too, with superior notes by Jablonski and Anastasia Belina.”
