Prokofiev Sonata for Two Violins 3rd mvt (recorded live in 2002)

Piotr Janowski was one of the greatest and least known musical talents of our time. At the tender age of 16 he won the Wieniawski International Competition in Poznan, Poland. Later in the US, Piotr studied with Heifetz and Galamian. Among his notable performances, he played the Beethoven Violin Concerto with Leonard Bernstein in Carnegie Hall. He lived in Norway for about two decades, teaching and performing. In the last years of his life he lived in Warsaw. One of his most prominent recordings is the Wieniawski Collection, which won him accolades from Strad Magazine. He was married to Polish pianist Joanna Maklakiewicz. He died suddenly and tragically from cardiac arrest in 2008 while in England.

Piotr Janowski (1951-2008) and David Radzynski (b. 1986) played together a recital at the Ohio University in Athens, Ohio on April 23rd, 2002 in which they performed the Prokofiev Sonata for Two Violins.
