Jakub Tchorzewski – bio Jakub Tchorzewski, described as one of “the most expressive of pianists and the finest of collaborative artists” (MusicWeb International) has performed across Europe and the United States. According to The Strad he “responds with high-octane passion and abandonment”.

The Polish composer Krzysztof Meyer expressed himself about the CD featuring his Sonata op. 99 in the following way: “Your recording is excellent in all respects. It is exactly how I imagined my Sonata while writing it.”
