And Paderewski’s portrait above 💜 thank you for sharing this unique video! Stojowski was not only splendid pianist, but also a supreme teacher and a wonderful person, so it is great to remember about him!
Thank you for introducing the pianism of Oscar Levant's teacher. Levant joked about playing in his "customary arthritic abandon," but it might not be a stretch to say that the quality of a strong sense of rythm was passed from teacher to student.
I have this L.P. in my collection, but it is easier now to hear it this way. Thanks T-P-F. For some reason I found that the Stojowski album was the hardest of the series to find, but I did. If I recall correctly, his wife (was it?) was also featured within it, playing some quite interesting titles and in Stereo! All of the IPA/Desmar issues should be hunted-down and conserved. Greg Benko & Co. I thought did a splendid job of conceiving and producing them all. I know we are all grateful and admiring for such dedication and creativity. . : .
I knew most of the records that they put out, even if I didn't have them, but this one had escaped me until just last year! So glad I was able to find it (and pretty cheap too). Lovely playing - and yes, his wife plays on there too. I've transferred her recordings and will feature them in a separate upload at a later date.
To any impressed pianists out there who want to learn any of Stojowski's pieces, the scores to several of them are available for free on imslp.org: imslp.org/wiki/Category:Stojowski,_Sigismond
@@ThePianoFiles wow Paderewski was really respected by his colleagues! One of the best friend of my professor was a pupil of Cortot, and she said that Cortot's favorite pianist was Paderewski. And even in Horowitz's house there is Paderewski's photo! I wish i could listen him in a concert...
@@kimdoomin In the 1945 film Detour, as a pianist is playing, a woman comes up to him and tells him how much she loves his Paderewski. Only (and this goes uncorrected in the film) it's a Chopin piece, not Paderewski! I guess back then, the movie-makers thought Paderewski would be the more household name!
@@matthewzisi300 That's really interesting! Surely Paderewski is one of greatest musician of the century but very few great musicians has a huge success even for non-cultured people and great artistry in same time. I really want to know how is possible!
Treasures keep being brought to light - thank you!

You are so right!
Delightful!!!!!!!! An incredible variety of rhythm.
Almost too much variety of rhythm for me, and I love the 100 year old recordings
Thank you for the rare recording of this composer
More grateful to you than I can express-bringing Mr. Stojowski genius to us!
Thank you for your good work Sir!

It’s a very wonderful thing you have done, bravo!

The picture on the right side of the photo is a photo of Paderewski?
Yes, it is
