Lukasz BorowiczAbout
The cantatas are extremely successful pieces, and the shortness of their popularity can likely be explained by the words of the author of the libretto of Milda, Józef Ignacy Kraszewski. “If our critics were able to recognise Mr. Moniuszko’s talent, we would not envy Germans songs by Schubert and Mendelssohn Bartholdy (...), better than Mr. Moniuszko only because they were lucky to be born and gain fame abroad.”
It seems unbelievable that these cantatas have not yet been available on CD. In this context, the double-CD album of the Poznań Philharmonic is an invaluable contribution to restoring Moniuszko to his rightful place in the forefront of 19th-century European composers.
