Internationally acclaimed Swedish pianist Peter Jablonski is known as a fervent champion of Polish music. After his first album with Chopin’s Mazurkas, released in October 2022, with this second volume Jablonski continues the recording of some of his dearest works for the piano. 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 second and final volume of Chopin’s Mazurkas by Peter Jablonski includes Mazurkas Nos. 30-51 alongside six posthumous mazurkas. 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).
Peter Jablonski’s most recent album of Piano Concertos by Grazyna Bacewicz has received rave reviews, including Gramophone magazine’s Editor’s Choice, and the previous Bacewicz solo album was nominated for BBC Music Magazine’s best instrumental album of the year.
