Magdalena Baczewska, narration

Music by Chopin, Fontana, Saumell, Gottschalk. Pianist Hubert Rutkowski, with a great help from Magdalena Baczewska, DMA, will introduce Julian Fontana and bring his forgotten music to life.

JULIAN FONTANA
Known mostly as a devoted friend of Chopin, a copyist and editor of his works, he has so far remained in the shadow of his master’s genius. Fontana was, however, a true Renaissance man who realized his talents as a lawyer, composer, pianist-virtuoso, music editor, journalist, translator, soldier, and traveler.
