Yes, Bortkiewicz wrote some really great stuff. I have uploaded a couple of recordings in the Audition Room if you're interested.

He's worth playing, and that's saying a lot! He wrote a lot of pieces of moderate difficulty that would be fine precursors to Chopin and Liszt Etudes.

For us musicians, the music of Beethoven is the pillar of fire and cloud of mist which guided the Israelites through the desert. (Roughly quoted, Franz Liszt.)

Borkiewicz, along with Rachmaninoff and Scriabin, has become one of my favorite Late Romantics. I've posted a half dozen or so of his works here in Audition Room, and continue to work on that repertoire. Incredible stuff!

Yes. Stephen Coombs recorded it, as did Klaas Trapman. Coombs is the better interpreter, in my opinion.
