“One of the most powerful and extraordinarily creative solo pianists of our time.”“Like no other contemporary pianist, he transforms jazz—from the blues to postmodern, modal explosions of improvisation—into classical forms, breaking down the already artificial barrier between classical music and jazz.He is the long-lost descendant of Schumann, Debussy and Grieg: a contemporary master of the short form who has absorbed jazz, the ‘second classical music’, into the history of music.Even in more expansive pieces, such as the twenty-minute introduction, Sendecki proves himself a master of emotion. Through virtuosic changes in melody, tone colour and rhythm, he creates deeply moving musical experiences. The same applies to his adaptation of a traditional Polish lullaby that once served as an inspiration for Chopin—the other Polish émigré and pianist with whom Sendecki may justifiably be compared.”— Süddeutsche Zeitung
