Jerzy Gablenz:
Piano Concerto in D flat major, Op. 25

Ignacy Jan Paderewski:
Fantaisie polonaise sur des themes originaux, Op. 19

Poles apart? Ignacy Jan Paderewski is a familiar name, but the same can hardly be said of Jerzy Gablenz. Jonathan Plowright makes the strongest case possible for Gablenz’s piano concerto: a substantial work rich in melodic invention and thunderous pianism.
