Cyprien Katsaris (piano)About
Almost unknown outside Poland, this extraordinary composer, pianist and organist wrote mainly operas, operettas, masses and about 360 Lieder, but also a few piano pieces and two string quartets, not to mention a treatise on harmony.
“Although his piano output is small in quantity, the quality of each piece all of them exquisite miniatures is wonderful: we are dealing here with pure gems. Like many composers, Moniuszko was of course influenced by others, such as Carl Maria von Weber, Robert Schumann, Mendelssohn etc, however, he found his own language.
“With regard to the various transcriptions and fantasies on Lieder and operas by several composers presented here, it is interesting to note that Moniuszko himself transcribed two mazurkas from his operas The Haunted Manor and Halka. Personally, I am convinced that the music of Moniuszko, especially some pieces such as the ‘Kozak’, the dumkas and the Nocturne ...if played as encores worldwide, could become international hits and help to spread the name of this great Polish genius.”
