Listen to a sample from Szymanowski Sonatas
Readers who want to explore just the three piano sonatas and in so doing follow Szymanowskis output from 1904 through to the late sonata of 1917, should consider this excellently played offering Raymond Clarke has an intuitive grasp of and affinity with Szymanowskis sound world. He is second to none in terms of sensibility and keyboard command. His version of the First Sonata is particularly convincing. Good recording. - Penguin Guide to Good CDs
