Jaroslaw Pietrzak

Jarosław Pietrzak is a Polish violinist and chamber musician dedicated to bringing lesser-known Polish classical works into the spotlight. Known for his clean, expressive playing and collaborative spirit, he’s become a key figure in reviving pieces by composers like Józef Nowakowski (featured on *Grand Duo Polonais*) and Zygmunt Stojowski. His albums, such as *Szulc: Works for Violin & Piano* and *Polish Violin Duos*, showcase his knack for balancing technical precision with emotional warmth, often partnering with pianist Aleksandra Świgut to breathe life into forgotten gems.

Based in Poland, Pietrzak champions his country’s musical heritage through recordings and live performances, working with labels like Acte Préalable to preserve these works. While he’s not a mainstream name, classical enthusiasts appreciate his focus on niche repertoire and his ability to make 19th- and early 20th-century Polish compositions feel fresh and relevant. His projects often feel like curated historical journeys—perfect for listeners craving something off the beaten path.
