Review by Martien Korenblom

Album Review: A Famous Polish Pianist by Halina Czerny-Stefańska If you’re into classical music with a twist of Renaissance and Baroque vibes, A Famous Polish Pianist is an album that deserves your attention. Released under Polskie Nagrania Muza, this record showcases the immense talent of Halina Czerny-Stefańska on the piano. The tracklist spans works by heavyweights like Domenico Scarlatti, Jean-Philippe Rameau, Louis-Claude Daquin, and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. It’s a mix of timeless compositions brought to life with her distinct touch. One standout track for me was Sonata No. 10 in C-major K. 330 by Mozart. From the moment it starts, you can tell Czerny-Stefańska isn’t just playing notes—she’s telling a story. There’s something about how she handles the Allegretto section; it feels light but not rushed, precise yet emotional. You can almost picture yourself walking through an Austrian palace garden at sunrise. The way she transitions between phrases makes it feel alive, like the music’s breathing alongside you. Another gem is Le Coucou, composed by Daquin. This one sticks because it’s quirky as heck. Those playful little motifs mimic bird calls so vividly that I found myself grinning while listening. Czerny-Stefańska nails the balance between whimsy and technical precision here. It’s short, sweet, and leaves you wanting more—a perfect palate cleanser amidst the heavier pieces. What strikes me most about this album is its range. One minute you’re floating through Mozart’s elegant sonatas, and the next, you're giggling at Daquin’s cuckoo clock symphony. Sure, some listeners might find the pacing uneven, especially if they prefer sticking to one style or era. But honestly? That variety keeps things fresh. Plus, hearing these composers interpreted by a pianist of Czerny-Stefańska’s caliber adds layers you wouldn’t catch otherwise. It’s wild to think this album pulls from such different periods—Baroque ornaments meet Mozartean clarity—but somehow, it all gels together. Maybe it’s because Czerny-Stefańska has this uncanny ability to make every note sound intentional, no matter who wrote it. As I wrapped up my listen, I couldn’t help but wonder: what would Scarlatti or Rameau think if they heard their music played centuries later by someone like her? Would they nod approvingly, or would they be utterly baffled? Either way, I reckon they’d agree—Halina Czerny-Stefańska doesn’t just play the piano. She speaks it. And man, does it sound good.
