"This sophisticated recording, consisting of three great pieces from last century composed in Poland, shows perfect capabilities of two excellent, young women performers.
The recording presents inspiring interpretation of the early Sonata by Szymanowski, but not only this, because Patrycja Piekutowska contributed her satiated lyric in an ingenious way, showing the pieces in a different, clearer light.
In spite of a brave performance, fragments of Allegro achieve a distinct sensibility, in which Piekutowska is supported by Beata Bilińska with her abilities to appease a huge faktura of the work. As a result, the piece is presented brilliantly.
In Sonata by Bacewicz, both artists achieve a certain contrast between the main, classic theme and fragments based on folk music and truly absorb the attention of a listener.
Their Scherzo full of brave humour is played with easiness, and Piekutowska doesn’t lose the deepness of sound at all, applying an impressively temperate vibrato. The Final is the more spectacular and full of fascinating fireworks.
Both the stately Largo and the diverse Presto in Partita by Lutosławski are performed in a moving way. Particularly effective are the two cadenzas appearing in between three main parts, which emphasize the beautiful and expressive play of the two remarkable and energetic performers.
Because of the directness of this great recording, all three pieces hold their listener in expectation for more."
