For his many admirers Piotr Anderszewski adds new works to his concert repertoire with infuriating slowness, and takes even longer to record them. But this makes every Anderszewski release a special event, and this collection of miniatures appears three years after his last disc, which was devoted to the second book of Bach’s Well-Tempered Clavier. The new one is a typical Anderszewski compilation, and even if the pianist’s claim in a sleeve note that a “spirit of rebellion” pervades all the works here should be taken with a big pinch of salt, the juxtaposition of these three composers, who all worked around the edges of modernism in the early 20th century, makes perfect musical sense.
