Unmatched energy and exceptional understanding of music regardless of the epoch it originates from – these features make Aleksandra Świgut an outstanding musician, who plays on both modern and early instruments with the same ease. "A sensitive and mature musician" – this is how Dariusz Marciniszyn characterised Jakub Kuszlik in one of the recital reviews. Just before the young pianists start their race in the 18th Fryderyk Chopin International Piano Competition we can hear them play at the Kraków Philharmonic performing works of Polish greatest composer.
