Songs of The Pianist Wladyslaw Szpilman

Wladyslaw Szpilman was an all-round musician -- a pianist performing both solo and in chamber ensembles, as well as the composer of symphonic pieces and popular songs. He first studied the piano in Warsaw and Berlin, and worked at Polish Radio for four years until the outbreak of war.

He miraculously avoided capture by the Nazis. In the final months of the war, he found shelter in the ruins of Warsaw and survived thanks to the help from his friends and a German Army officer, Wilm Hosenfeld.

After the war, he resumed his professional contacts with Polish Radio, serving as director of its Music Department for 18 years. He then founded the Warsaw Piano Quintet, which toured around the world for more than two decades. His compositional output includes around 500 songs and several symphonic works which have remained in the concert repertoire till today. (jb/pg/mk)

Delightful and romantic. I listen to Justyna Steczkowska's version, then Wladyslaw's and it is just like the two of them are the people who went to the movies together.

Piękny utwór, piękne wykonanie.... Wielu już popsuło to biedne małe kino, ale Zbyszek jest wielki! Dziękuję za możliwość posłuchania!
