Friedman & Rozycki: Piano Quintets - SZYMANOWSKI QUARTET / JONATHAN PLOWRIGHT

After his outstanding recording of the piano concertos, Jonathan Plowright—here partnered by the Szymanowski Quartet—returns to the music of Ludomir Różycki. The piano quintets of Różycki and Ignacy Friedman make the perfect late-Romantic pairing, especially when performed by such committed champions of Polish music.
