Bartek Niziol

Bartek Niziol is a Polish violinist celebrated for his passionate interpretations of Eastern European classical repertoire, particularly works by Polish composers. Known for his rich tone and technical precision, Niziol has become a key advocate for bringing lesser-known Central European gems to wider audiences. His recent projects, like *Szymanowski Reimagined* and *Polish Violin Duos*, showcase his knack for revitalizing 20th-century classics, while albums such as *Bacewicz: Violin & Piano Works* and *Karłowicz: Orchestral Works* highlight his deep connection to Poland’s musical heritage.

A versatile collaborator, Niziol thrives in both intimate chamber settings (as heard in *Rachmaninoff: Piano Trios*) and grand orchestral landscapes. His dedication to unearthing overlooked works shines in albums like *Project Hungarica* and *Weinberg: String Music*, proving he’s as much a musical archaeologist as he is a performer. Whether breathing new life into Martinů’s chamber music or navigating the emotional depths of Karlowicz, Niziol’s recordings feel like curated love letters to the rich, often underappreciated sounds of Eastern Europe.
