Aleksander Michałowski - Selected Pieces for Piano

[@rxboy]

The post Chopin pre Rachmaninoff prodigy. I'm in love with this.

[@SebastienSkaf]

Brilliant, ashamed not to have heard of his music sooner

[@steveegallo3384]

sebastien skaf -- Me too....Michałowski is right up there with Arensky...maybe even Schumann and Rakhmaninov.....

Ok, glad I'm not the only one. 👍

Just curious, where did you find this recording? I can't find any more information on the performer at all, although i'd certainly like to.

0:03 - 0:10 sounds incredibly familiar, but I can't put my finger on the piece. Has anyone got any ideas.

[@markmarshall6448]

Same here. Could it be similarities with Rachmaninov's E flat major prelude?

It is definitely reminiscent of Rachmaninoff. It reminds me of some moments from his Piano Concerto No. 2 (esp. in the first and last movements)

Aleksander, not Aleksandr. Aleksandr is russian name, and Michałowski was not a russian but a Pole.

[@fyrexianoff]

thanks for the little analogy
