Edward Wolanin

The pieces featured on this release are joined by a common thread of one idea. Preludes Op. 23 by Sergei Rachmaninoff and the Symphony No. 5 in C sharp minor by Gustav Mahler were created almost in the same period of time, in 1901-1903. Mahler wrote his Adagietto under the influence of passionate feelings toward Alma Schindler, who soon became his wife. On the other hand, Rachmaninoff composed his Preludes shortly after marrying Natalia Alexandrovna Satin. Chopins nocturns became a personification of passionate feelings. One could say it was women that were an indirect impulse for the creation of these works. +Edward Wolanin is a graduate of the Academy of Music in Warsaw. He is currently a professor of his alma mater, a prize-winner of numerous competitions, and now a member of jury of many of them. His great sensitivity is revealed in music and in contacts with others. He emanates with warmth and naturalness. This is how he is both in life and music.
