The music of Grazyna Bacewicz (1909-1969) has been enjoying a revival during the past two decades.

This album by the award-winning pianist Peter Jablonski, pianist Elisabeth Braus, the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra and conductor Nicholas Collon includes some rarely recorded gems: the composer's Piano Concerto together with the late Concerto for Two Pianos and Orchestra in its first digital recording. Also included is the composer's homage to Bartok, Music for Strings, Trumpets and Percussion, as well as the composer's early exuberant Overture written during the German occupation of Poland.
