The first time I heard the Third Symphony, I was overwhelmed. And the first time I heard the piano concerto, which was Anna's recording, and the sonata, which I believe was also Anna's recording. I mean, I knew about this music from a young age. I feel really lucky to have known about it. From pianists who have really studied it carefully and know very much what's at the heart of each score, because the piano music is on
the periphery of Boratsky's music. We have the... big symphonies, choral works, and chamber music, but the piano music is still really beautiful and really worth giving attention to. For tonight's episode, Inside the World of Goretzky, we explore the beautiful journey from mentorship to collaboration between pianist -scholar Jared Dunn and concert pianist Anna Goretzka. Their newly released album, Goretzky's World of Piano, shines a light on Henryk Mikołaj Goretzky's evocative, avant -garde,
and technically demanding piano works. music far less known than his famous symphony number three, yet equally powerful. You will also hear personal stories of the composer from Anna, his daughter, offering rare insight into the man behind the music. Throughout his life, I think he considered the piano to be the closest instrument. And he always composed by the piano. He played
the piano himself quite well. So I remember him playing Chopin's Mazurkas, Szymanowski's Mazurkas, a lot of Mozart, a lot of Bach, really, yeah. In his piano pieces we can find the same way of shaping the form as in orchestral works. So I think there is the same tendency to use very distinct, sometimes even maybe extreme, means to express himself, very similar way of building
the very expressive whole. Don't miss this intimate and inspiring conversation and don't miss their newly released album, Goretsky's World of Piano, streaming now on Spotify and all major platforms. When I planned this album, I wanted people to have that same experience of hearing it if it's for the first time. And I hope the listeners feel when they hear our album, it feels like you're hearing a live concert. It does not feel
like a doctored recording. And the goal in playing it is to make sure the impression of giving a concert is maintained. Inside the World of Goretsuki premieres tonight on our YouTube channel. The audio episode will also be available on your favorite podcasting platforms. See you tonight!
