Jakub ChrenowiczAbout
Presenting contemporary music in the context of historical music plays an important role in promoting Polish art. The unpretentious overtures by Karol Kurpiński (17851857) juxtaposed with the String Overture by Witold Lutosławski (19131994) on one disc share the sonata allegro form and they both generously draw on tradition. In turn, they differ in their musical language, which changes with the surrounding world. The lyricism and kinship of the Serenade for string orchestra by Mieczysław Karłowicz (18761909) with works by Mozart, Tchaikovsky and Dvořák known in the music world at that time is separated from the Music for Strings, Trumpets and Percussion by Grażyna Bacewicz (19091969) by over half a century, during which music changed its face several times. Despite the sonoristic technique and Bacewicz's innovative sound language, there are also some Neoclassical reminiscences, references to the sonata allegro form, to ostinato, cyclic figures or parallel figurations. The extraordinary vitality of the composer can also be a form of a dialogue with the emotionally saturated, though lyrical, Serenade by Karłowicz.
