Making and listening to music as an act of resistance against the relentless 24/7 rhythm of our era: with his beautifully clear new recording of Bach’s “Goldberg Variations”, released by GENUIN, Miłosz Sroczyński offers a deliberate counterbalance to the accelerating pace of modern life. In an accompanying essay, he reflects on music as a response to the late-capitalist demand for constant productivity and endless wakefulness. His interpretation – with which he made a highly acclaimed debut at the Davos Festival 2024 – is shaped by filigree lightness and long, seamlessly flowing musical arcs: transparent, weightless, and deeply focused. A reflective artist at the piano, Sroczyński gives us time to listen – inviting us to immerse ourselves, variation by variation, in this music.

“What makes this interpretation so fascinating is its handling of the sense of time. [...] The pianist separates the two parts, playing the structure and ornamentation of the second part with such precision and virtuosity that it almost seems as though one is dealing with two cycles of variations.” Review by Oliver Buslau, Issue 3/2026 (May/June)
PIANIST
"Sroczyński rightly draws parallels with the present day. […] Sroczyński wouldn’t help you fall asleep, because with his meticulous playing and the superbly recorded Steinway, he simply compels you to listen." Review by Eric Schoones, Issue 1/2026 Review by Eric Schoones, Issue 1/2026
