Franciszek Mirecki, Complete Piano Sonatas on Spotify

[Artur Slotwinski]

Hello everyone!

I just wanted to inform that all Piano Sonatas by Polish composer Franciszek Wincenty Mirecki has been recently recorded and are set to be published on 15th August on all major streaming services as Spotify, Tidal, Amazon, Apple etc. Pieces dating from 1819-23 in classical/early romantic style were recorded in July 2023. It's a set of 9 Sonatas with a timing of 90 minutes. As a teaser I am posting 3rd mvt. of D-Major Sonata from op 12. which is called "La Chasse"...

Looking forward to see all unsung composers enthusiasts having a listen of Complete Piano Sonatas album.

Franciszek Mirecki (1791-1862) was a Polish composer who gained international recognition as one of the first Polish composers before Chopin. He composed italian style operas mainly but also symphonic works, sacred music, chamber works and solistic repertoire like the Sonatas. He studied with Hummel and Salieri, he knew Beethoven in person - they've met because of Beethoven's research on Polish National songs which had a fruition in Beethoven's work Songs of Foreign Lands - Mirecki had a Polish input in this set - one of the songs is entitled "How badly I am drunk"

All the best to all members of the UC Forum,

Artur Slotwinski

Thanks! I seem to recall his symphony has received fairly positive notice in this forum, for example.

Do You know Przytocki's recording - it's very recent, the CD is by DUX (coupled with Józef Wieniawski Symphony in D-Major btw)

We've discussed the Dux recording at length. The Symphony is obviously in a much later style.
