No Roamin' in the gloamin', surely ;)
Thanks, I'd never heard of him
The Op. 16, 33 & 37 pieces have been recorded before on 2 volumes (available separately) by the same artist for the Polish label, Acte Prealable.

Can't see much point in repeating them.
Roman Statkowski (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Statkowski), not Roam. 1859-1925.
A recording of a string quartet of his (#5 in E minor. I thought it rather good...) was uploaded here awhile back (I think an opera, too?...), and another (#1 in F major) is in instrumental parts @ IMSLP.
On the basis of the 5th quartet I'd be interested in hearing the other 5 (I _think_ there are 6 in all, anyway...) and other extended works of his. I've only heard it- 2 or 3 times?- so far but thought it impressively done both melodically and formally/in terms of pace, etc. etc. (practically always essential in music, of course, but very noticeable in a variations finale :) )
QuoteNo Roamin' in the gloamin', surely
Just my typing fingers on the roam, I'm afraid.
There's also his (rather good) opera, Maria:
