Hi there Rolf,

Karol Szymanowski was an extraordinary composer, for sure. I've heard some very fine things from him. What a hard life he lived ! I rate him with Bartok, Vaughan Williams and a few others for his originality and his great love of traditional music.

His playing here is very fine. It's a remarkable recording, for sure. Thanks for sharing it.
