Wlodzimierz Lebiecki (piano)About
This oeuvre, so far available only in manuscripts and a few 19th-century prints, is shown to a broader audience for the first time. Giedymin Rodkiewicz (1834-1891) was an artist influenced by the Romantic musical tradition expressed in the idea of programme and emotions, tinged with salon sentimentality. His direct source of inspiration was the music of Fryderyk Chopin. Rodkiewicz also focused exclusively on piano music, creating mainly dance miniatures (waltzes, mazurkas), romantic nocturnes and impromtpus. The composer, endowed with melodic invention and artistic panache, managed to unleash the maximum potential of these genres, which was quite a challenge in the post-Chopin era.
The performer thanks to whom music lovers will be able to hear Rodkiewicz's compositions for the first time is Włodzimierz Lebiecki, a pianist and musicologist from Belarus, i.e. from the area where the composer lived and worked. The artist is a recognised musician, decorated many times by various cultural institutions, personally involved in the dissemination of the musical heritage of the extremely interesting multinational cultural borderland the former Republic of Poland used to be.
