An all-time classic recording: a series of Chopin Mazurkas recorded by the great Polish pianist Maryla Jonas, recorded on 78 and reissued on Columbia LP RL6624. Jonas highlights the varied character of these works with absolute perfection and plays with the utmost subtlety and style, with a gorgeous singing tone, transparent voicing, elegant phrasing, attentive voicing, rhythmic vitality, and an incredible dynamic range. Her timing is exquisite and her melodic lines sing with disarming simplicity. Jonas complete commercial recordings are now available on two double-CD sets from St. Laurent Studio - these Mazurkas are in Volume 1. The discs have no liner notes but complete recording details and have direct transfers with no filtering, meaning that there is a little surface noise from the original records but a very full-bodied and authentic piano tone. 78experience/welcome.php?mod=disque&disque_id=493
