Is anyone familiar with Łukasz Borowicz/Poznan Phil.'s recording of Nowowiejski's piano and cello concertos (Opp.60 in D minor, 55 in E minor?) (from 2023, with Jacek Kortus and Bartosz Koziak)? (See eg Presto Music (https://www.prestomusic.com/classical/products/9432496--nowowiejski-piano-concerto-op-60-cello-concerto-op-55); I found them streaming on Amazon Music myself.)
I know this disc and there is another short thread dedicated to it. Alan said that the piano concerto was a bit too "full on" for him. I know what he means and see that I borrowed this phrase in the review I did for Amazon.co.uk a few months ago. ( I'm someonewhocares2. )
( If you like my review perhaps you'd mark it as "useful"! I usually review unsung music and don't get a lot of "usefuls" these days...probably a reflection of just how specialised the area of music which interests us is. Either that or my reviews are useless! )
Ah thanks, searched for the thread here but wasn't able to find it. (Edit: also, I have an account at Amazon.com but not at Amazon.co.uk so may not be able to be much help necessarily there.)
Here it is:

Thanks. BTW Presto claims it's the cello, not the piano, concerto that's nicknamed "Slavic".
Well, I can only say I don't like the PC. It's quite odd. I also need to bring up the YT Polish music score-video maker JacobNX's (now Polish Scores) notice that this new recording of the PC is still cut somewhere.

Your review is excellent, thorough and informative, and got a "Helpful" from me. I can't say that either piece was to my taste, but it's some time since I listened to either of them.
Thank you, Mark. It's not a disc which visits my player often too.
