Born on 12 February 1760, Jan Ladislav Dussek is one of the most recognizable artists at the end o f Classicism and beginning of Romanticism. His rich artistic output gained recognition mainly due to innovative, for that time, piano works and numerous symphonies. Dussek significantly contributed to the spread of English pianos in Europe, which implied further development of construction of these instruments. The album contains three Piano Sonatas, Op. 9 and the cycle The Sufferings of the Queen of France, Op. 23 performed by world-renowned Marek Toporowski.
