Witold Malcuzynski plays the Bach-Busoni ’Chaconne’

A recording from 1970 by Polish pianist Witold Malcuzynski of the Bach-Busoni ’Chaconne’. His daughter recalls him learning this in his later years and how he needed to ’dare’ to play Bach as his name had become inextricably linked with the music of his compatriot Chopin. His wide dynamic range, beautiful tonal shadings, and varied articulation serve his large-scale vision of this work. Photographs courtesy of Christina Malcuzynski.
