00:00:03.539 --> 00:00:05.700
The first time I heard the Third Symphony, I

00:00:05.700 --> 00:00:08.619
was overwhelmed. And the first time I heard the

00:00:08.619 --> 00:00:10.919
piano concerto, which was Anna's recording, and

00:00:10.919 --> 00:00:13.140
the sonata, which I believe was also Anna's recording.

00:00:13.839 --> 00:00:15.320
I mean, I knew about this music from a young

00:00:15.320 --> 00:00:17.000
age. I feel really lucky to have known about

00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:19.760
it. From pianists who have really studied it

00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:22.239
carefully and know very much what's at the heart

00:00:22.239 --> 00:00:24.559
of each score, because the piano music is on

00:00:24.559 --> 00:00:27.379
the periphery of Boratsky's music. We have the...

00:00:27.120 --> 00:00:29.640
big symphonies, choral works, and chamber music,

00:00:29.899 --> 00:00:32.280
but the piano music is still really beautiful

00:00:32.280 --> 00:00:35.179
and really worth giving attention to. For tonight's

00:00:35.179 --> 00:00:37.979
episode, Inside the World of Goretzky, we explore

00:00:37.979 --> 00:00:40.240
the beautiful journey from mentorship to collaboration

00:00:40.240 --> 00:00:43.240
between pianist -scholar Jared Dunn and concert

00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:46.619
pianist Anna Goretzka. Their newly released album,

00:00:46.880 --> 00:00:49.280
Goretzky's World of Piano, shines a light on

00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:52.060
Henryk Mikołaj Goretzky's evocative, avant -garde,

00:00:52.240 --> 00:00:54.750
and technically demanding piano works. music

00:00:54.750 --> 00:00:57.270
far less known than his famous symphony number

00:00:57.270 --> 00:01:00.729
three, yet equally powerful. You will also hear

00:01:00.729 --> 00:01:03.649
personal stories of the composer from Anna, his

00:01:03.649 --> 00:01:05.909
daughter, offering rare insight into the man

00:01:05.909 --> 00:01:08.569
behind the music. Throughout his life, I think

00:01:08.569 --> 00:01:12.989
he considered the piano to be the closest instrument.

00:01:13.469 --> 00:01:18.329
And he always composed by the piano. He played

00:01:18.329 --> 00:01:21.480
the piano himself quite well. So I remember him

00:01:21.480 --> 00:01:24.319
playing Chopin's Mazurkas, Szymanowski's Mazurkas,

00:01:24.599 --> 00:01:26.760
a lot of Mozart, a lot of Bach, really, yeah.

00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:30.299
In his piano pieces we can find the same way

00:01:30.299 --> 00:01:36.000
of shaping the form as in orchestral works. So

00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:39.540
I think there is the same tendency to use very

00:01:39.540 --> 00:01:45.340
distinct, sometimes even maybe extreme, means

00:01:45.340 --> 00:01:48.760
to express himself, very similar way of building

00:01:49.049 --> 00:01:53.090
the very expressive whole. Don't miss this intimate

00:01:53.090 --> 00:01:55.530
and inspiring conversation and don't miss their

00:01:55.530 --> 00:01:57.930
newly released album, Goretsky's World of Piano,

00:01:58.250 --> 00:02:00.670
streaming now on Spotify and all major platforms.

00:02:01.230 --> 00:02:03.109
When I planned this album, I wanted people to

00:02:03.109 --> 00:02:05.829
have that same experience of hearing it if it's

00:02:05.829 --> 00:02:07.810
for the first time. And I hope the listeners

00:02:07.810 --> 00:02:10.430
feel when they hear our album, it feels like

00:02:10.430 --> 00:02:12.250
you're hearing a live concert. It does not feel

00:02:12.250 --> 00:02:15.430
like a doctored recording. And the goal in playing

00:02:15.430 --> 00:02:17.810
it is to make sure the impression of giving a

00:02:17.810 --> 00:02:20.900
concert is maintained. Inside the World of Goretsuki

00:02:20.900 --> 00:02:23.780
premieres tonight on our YouTube channel. The

00:02:23.780 --> 00:02:25.840
audio episode will also be available on your

00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:28.099
favorite podcasting platforms. See you tonight!
