Acte Préalable
Kessler: Piano Works (Acte Préalable)
Modest piano pieces by a neglected but once influential musician [RCh]
Deszczyński: Piano Works (Acte Préalable)
Elegant early 19th century Polish piano works from a forgotten composer [RCh]
Polish String Quartets (Acte Préalable)
Too much programmatic conformity partially rescued by the engaging Rogowski [JW]
Cieślak: Niepodległa (Acte Préalable)
Despite adventurous music for the chorus, Cieślak’s earnest oratorio is confrontational and somewhat gloomy [RHa]

Best yet in the exploratory series of Krzyżanowski’s piano music [RCh]
Bellini: Composizioni da Camera (Acte Préalable)
An enterprising collection of Bellini songs is unfortunately let down by less than ideal performances [PT]
Scheller: Dead Grain (Acte Préalable)
Cold, creepy, crepuscular and clever – Scheller’s eerie sounds slither delightfully under the skin [RHa]
Koczalski: Symphonic Works Vol. 1 (Acte Préalable)
A long-running series throws up more compositional dilemmas [JW]
Krzyżanowski: Piano Works Vol. 3 (Acte Préalable)
Another successful outing for this forgotten Pole [RCh]
Dobrzyński: Piano Works Vol 1 (Acte Préalable)
Finely crafted piano works in excellent performances bode well for this series [RCh]
